Django: select option with default field in template

I want to try select my default field in select option forms. My main form here is form and form.status gets all user possibility status and user_form.initial.status gets user current status:

<div class="col-lg-9 select mb-3">
    <select name="status" ng-model='discussionsSelect' class="custom-select form-control">
        {% for status in form.status %}
            <option value="{{user_form.initial.status}}" 
                {% if status == user_form.initial.status %}selected="selected"{% endif %}>
                {{status}}
            </option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
</div>

But it is not selected as default.

You can do it like this:

<select ... name="status">
{% for value, label in form.fields.status.choices %}
    <option value="{{ value }}"{% if user_form.status.value == value %} selected{% endif %}>{{ label }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
