Hey James, Thanks for your follow-up here.
I think for me the thing that's compelling is the flow you describe in comment 12 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29656#comment:12>: * A user renders an unbound model form, where all model fields have defaults. * The form is pre-filled with the default values. * The form is submitted without changes. (The default values are submitted.) * A new model instance is created with the defaults in place. *Except* that doesn't work with range fields. In your case, where you've specified a default (and null=False) it makes sense that the form field would return a `self.range_type(None, None)` rather than None here. What I'm not sure about is whether that always makes sense? What if I don't define that default on the model field? What if I want `None`? forms.CharField will always return it's empty_value here (by default `''`) but this is independent of the model default. Q: Do we want the same sort of behaviour for (forms) RangeFields? (Possibly we do...?)
