Hi Léon, it's not that basic. Picking up your example, I define a Form based on CharacterHome. Then I show 1 entry from CharacterHome; the field 'character' is shown as a MultipleChoiceField where ALL entries from Character are listed. But I need only the one particular record that ist referenced by the selected CharacterHome. In addition the user should only get non-editable fields on the html- page
