Here is an example of get_choices() output ... it comes from a method on
the Question model.

  [('A', 'A - Once?'), ('B', 'B - Twice?'), ('C', 'C - Four times?'),
('D', 'D - Twelve times?'), ('E', 'E - Continously as changes are made?')]

It is available before the the answer form is instantiated ...

class AnswerSingleForm(forms.ModelForm):

     class Meta:
         model = Answer
         fields = [
             'answer',
             'score'
         ]

So how do I get that set of choices into the Answer form?

I can see from the docs that the form Meta class can have a widgets
attribute for the 'answer' field. I think I need a ChoiceField widget so
I can include the choices. I tried using __init__() in the form class to
get the choices on board at instantiation but still couldn't get it
going because class Meta doesn't see 'self'.

Thanks for any help
