Comment:
I created issue #32846 which was marked as a duplicate. Looking at the
patch provided for this ticket is seems that the most difficult part is
the lack of an "official" way of resolving "field paths" like
`blog__pub_date` to fields. Django admin provides some utility methods,
but since it is a contrib app it cannot be used in other "core" Django
code.
Is there a separate ticket that tracks this? (I couldn't find one.) The
addition of a canonical way to resolve field paths could also be helpful
for 3rd party apps, for example django-filter has it's own implementation:
https://github.com/carltongibson/django-
filter/blob/f507201addfb7f105e722573f3ced4b4a9870526/django_filters/utils.py#L143,
and I'm certain there are others.
