If a `ForeignKey` to a model is in `autocomplete_fields` and the user has
the `view` permission but not `change`, then the autocomplete field
doesn't work - the view returns 403 errors, and so the field shows "The
results could not be loaded." The value that was already on the model will
be retained when the model is saved, but if the model is new and the field
is required, this prevents the user from saving the model.
The fix is probably as simple as changing `has_change_permission` to
`has_view_permission` on
