i think ForiegnKey uses ChoiceField as it has to display n number of
choices.
How should we intialize choice field?
-------------------------------------------------------
it should in this form
source = [(actual value,display value),(actual value,display
value) ....................]
a list of tuples
so at first you need to prepare this list and then you have to
intialize.
