Every admin add and change form accepts default values in arbitrary GET parameters. For example, this URL will automatically populate the "author" field with the value "foo": http://somedomain/admin/blah/authors/add/?author=foo If you need to populate a foreign-key value, use the ID of the value. http://somedomain/admin/blah/authors/add/?author=3 Adrian -- Adrian Holovaty holovaty.com | djangoproject.com | chicagocrime.org
