Hi John,
each element in the choices is a two elements tuple. first one is
the real data will be saved in the database and second one will
present on the form. therefore, the max_length of 'type' field must be
modified to fit the first element in the choices tuple. Plz see the
following code, i change the first element and the type field's
max_length.
REPORT_CHOICES = (
('BR', 'Bug Report'),
('UN', 'Unknown Problem'),
)
type = models.CharField(max_length=2, choices=REPORT_CHOICES)
ps: you can also google some pages which use the IntegerField to
save the choices.
BR
