Hi, I was busy doing other things, and then I got back to that problem. I spent another couple of hours on it and I still don't get it... :(
My custom widget displays correctly in the admin form and generates something like the following code: <label for="id_category" class="required">Category:</label> <select name="category" id="id_category"> <option value="14">All</option> <option value="6"> |- Best Practices</option> <option value="13"> |- Collaboration</option> ..... <option value="15"> |- Communication</option> </select> Note: All the "nbsp" are there for aligning the options properly. But if I select an option and click "save", the 'category' value is not saved, and NULL is recorded in the database instead. If I turn my custom widget off and use the default widget, here's what the generated code looks like: <label for="id_category">Category:</label> <select name="category" id="id_category"> <option value="" selected="selected">---------</option> <option value="1">All > Problems/Challenges > Creativity</ option> ... <option value="3">All > Problems/Challenges > Communication</ option> <option value="4">All > Problems/Challenges > Collaboration</ option> <option value="14">All</option> </select> To me, both pieces of code look fairly similar. In my custom widget, only the order of appearance, and the name of options change, the id's are the same. I don't understand why the value is not saved properly when using my custom widget.. I've made custom widgets with newforms- admin in the past and it always worked fine. Do you have an idea of what I could be missing this time? Thanks a lot!
