Comment (by CuriousG102):
Thanks for the pointer Tim! I've been digging into the admin code, because
I honestly hadn't needed to before. I'm sure that what you mentioned will
end up being what I have to do. But part of the point of Django admin
seems to be that people don't end up having to dive into the code for an
admin interface when they're building a website. Hence why there are
options like blank and limit_choices_to on fields. The suggestion in this
feature request is that model fields have something similar to
limit_choices_to. Perhaps this parameter could be passed a function. When
a ForeignKey is populated in a change view, this function could be passed
the relevant instance, and could return a queryset to filter on.
