There might be a better way, but this is what I did in a similar situation: I had a MultipleChoiceField with CheckboxSelectMultiple widget so users select one or more checkboxes, in my case to specify areas of a site. The choices parameter is a list of (area.id, area.name) set like: # populate choices within form self.fields['areas'].choices = [(area.id, area.name) for area in site.areas.all()] Once the form is submitted and validated, I access clean_data['areas'] to get a list of the ids of all the selected areas. To get the objects for these ids I use in_bulk (because there are potentially several of them). # populate invitation object within form invitation.areas = self.site.areas.in_bulk(self.clean_data['areas']) So for your RegistrationForm, perhaps the choices for phone_type would be (c.id, c.name). Then you can set the type of a TelecommunicationsNumber from a completed form with something like: tele_num.type = TelecommunicationsType.objects.get(pk=form.clean_data['phone_type']) Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
