Django tuple has no attribute get

I am trying to restrict the dropdown options according to the user type within the same form i.e usertype a has certain dropdown options and usertype b has certain dropdown options I tried to write my logic as below but am getting an error as the tuple has no attribute get

forms.py

class EditForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Model
        fields = ('title', 'info','status')



    def __init__(self, *args,  **kwargs):
        self.user = kwargs.pop('user')
        super().__init__(args,  **kwargs)
       

        if self.user.is_usertypeA == True:
            self.fields['status'].choices = (
                ('C','C'),
            )
        else:
            self.fields['status'].choices = (
                ('A','A'),
                ('b','b'),
            )

models.py

class EditView(LoginRequiredMixin,UpdateView):
    template_name = 'edit.html'
    model = model
    form_class = EditForm
    context_object_name = ''
    success_url = reverse_lazy('')



    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        kwargs = super().get_form_kwargs()
        kwargs['user'] = self.request.user
        return kwargs



    def form_valid(self,form):

I think you need to override the entire field.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-default-fields

So set one of your options (the most common one) as the default on the form - add this code to your list of fields (i.e. above Meta)

    status = forms.Select(
        widget=forms.Select(choices=CHOICES_OPTIONS_1),
    )

Then override the widget if you need to by passing a new dict - you can replace your current if .. else with this bit.

    if not self.user.is_usertypeA:
        widgets = {
            'status': Select(choices=CHOICES_OPTIONS_2),
        }

I've not tested this, but it should work.

Note the options 1 and 2 are meant to represent the tuples you give in the question - so the first one is C and the second one would be A´ and B` in your example.

Not entirely convinced __init__ is the place to do this either, but if it works ...
