With my current setup, the autoincrement variable set in postgresql is visible in the Django admin as "Sample_ID", with an empty form field. The user can't possibly know what the next value in the sequence should be, so I'm wondering how to deal with the field, as it is Not NULL, and any attempt to submit without a value returns an error. Is there perhaps a way to make the field not visible in admin, but have the field automatically filled in once the rest of the form fields are submitted?
