Hi Derek,

Thanks for your help -- I had tried both of those but couldn't get them to work with generic views. In the end I just abandoned the generic view and used the __init__() approach and things worked.

Does anyone have a hint for this (or an idea of where to get started in

that there is something that I am just missing.

Thanks!

I am trying to figure out a reasonable way to filter using a queryset
within a ModelForm.

In a simple example, I have three models (A, B, and C).
C has many A and B
A and B have a many to many relationship.

Assume that some instances of C and instances of B already exist.

I am using the create_object generic view to allow users to create
instances of A but not to select associated Bs. I'm then using
update_object generic view to allow users to select the Bs associated
with A. I've created a class that inherits from forms.ModelForm that
defines the form. In that I have forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField() for
selecting associated Bs. What I want to do is use the queryset to filter
to only show those Bs that share C with this instance of A.

I am confused as to how to do this type of query while passing a
form_class from the update_object generic view.

I have tried doing this in __init__() but I get a TypeError that the
form is not callable when I try to pass arguments.

Thanks in advance for your help and time,
