django model form initial instance does not add images

Question

hi guys I am trying to set up a simple model form that has some instance as initial values, I have an image field and it causes problems because it is required, and the initial value is empty, I know I could get around it by setting it to not required and validating it in a custom validation but I was wondering if there was a simpler way or maybe a library to this

this is my form

class adminPackageForm(forms.ModelForm):

class Meta:
    model = package
    fields = ("__all__")

and I am rendering it using the crispy tailwind theme
