Hi All
Facing the following issue after migrating to 3.2.
Example:
class SomeModel(models.Model):
field1 = models.CharField(choices=[])
class SomeModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
__init__(*args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args **kwargs)
self.fields['field1'] = <some choices dynamically generated>
class Meta:
model = SomeModel
fields = [ 'field1' ]
In the above case any choice selected is shown with the error "not a valid
choice" this is happening because model fields is revalidated again in
modelform._post_clean() function.
Intermediate solution is to remove choices from modelfield and reinitalize
field in form __init__ wiht dynamic choices. But In previous versions We
had choices to only override some attributes of a field rather than
reinitalizing whole field.
Thanks
