Three ways immediately spring to mind. You could override Model.save() on the model you wish to calculate fields for. This could populate the fields if they are not already populated and the instance has a base adjective. Similar, but not the same, you could add a pre_save signal to that model which does the same thing. The pre_save signal is emitted as part of Model.save(), so you can see how similar it is. Finally, you could leave the model unmodified, and simply make an AJAX service for generating the various adjective forms, and hook that into a custom admin form, adding a widget that collects the adjective from the un-submitted form, calls the AJAX service, and populates the appropriate fields.
