I have the following models and admin files and I would like to be able to
show the text representation of the ExpenseCategory category field in the
dropdown list on the Admin page. However, the dropdown list is displaying
"ExpenseCategory Object(n)" instead of the actual text category such as
"Utilities", "Office Supplies" etc.
I need to insert the ExpenseCategory pk in the Expenses table but want a
human readable drop down list to show the category text instead.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance......
MAIN/MODELS>PY
class ExpenseCategory(models.Model):
category = models.CharField(max_length=200)
deductible = models.TextField(choices=BOOLEAN_CHOICE)
def __int__(self):
return self.category
class Expenses(models.Model):
expense = models.CharField(max_length=200)
category = models.ForeignKey(ExpenseCategory, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
expense_amount = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8, decimal_places=2)
expense_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=False)
expense_type = models.TextField(choices=SOURCE)
description = models.CharField(max_length=200)
source = models.CharField(max_length=200)
def __int__(self):
return self.expense

MAIN/ADMIN.PY
class ExpenseCategoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ['category','deductible']
list_filter = ['deductible']
admin.site.register(models.ExpenseCategory, ExpenseCategoryAdmin)
class ExpensesAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display =
['expense','expense_amount','expense_date','category','expense_type']
list_filter = ['expense_date','category','expense_type']
admin.site.register(models.Expenses, ExpensesAdmin)
