Django REST Framework: integer fields default value not showing up in browseable API form

Question

Using django 1.6 and rest framework 2.3.13

In model class:

class A(models.Model):
    some_name = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=15)

In serilizer:

class ASerializer(ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = A
        fields = (  'some_name'  )

In view:

class AViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

    queryset = A.objects.all()
    serializer_class = ASerializer

But in the api form, it's showing as 0, any idea?

Answer 1

This problem can be solved by adding

if obj is None and self.default is not None:
    return self.default

to rest_framework/fields.py
