Hello all,

Is there a way to check whether a field contains a certain value in a
ManyToManyField in the admin on a custom save method? For example, I
have a model like:

class LastName(models.Model):
    lastname = models.CharField(...)

class Person(models.Model):
   firstname = models.CharField(...)
   lastname = models.ManyToManyField(LastName,...)
   jumbledname = models.CharField(..., editable = False)

   def save(self):
        if self.lastname CONTAINS? 'Smith':
            self.jumbledname = u'%s%s' % ('self.firstname,
self.lastname')
        else:
            self.jumbledname = self.firstname
    super(Person,self).save()

Thanks,
-bkev
