How could this work?
This depends on whether you're writing your own form, or using the admin application. In your own app then this should be easy: don't display the drop down and populate it in your view function when you receive the form data. I've been doing something similar with the admin app. You need to be using the newforms-admin branch, however. If you are then have a look at the howto on the wiki: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/NewformsHOWTO In short: it is possible but we will need a little more detail on where your form data is coming from.
