First of all you might want to reconsider not using the name "type"
for one of your fields as it is a builtin in python.
I guess what you could do it limit the choices using the choices
keyword in the field constructor. However, since this appears to be
dynamic you would need to set it in the model's constructor, e.g.
class Hardware(models.Model):
...
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.fields['hardware_type'].choices =
HardwareType.objects.all().values_list('pk', 'name'))
I'm guessing at what the fields on HardwareType might be here.
