Re: limit_choices_to: getting access to current instance

Well, either I'm not able to follow your example or we are talking about different things. In any case here is what I got working as a first draft. As a big benefit to me is the fact that I now understand these inner workings a little better. I was hoping to get away with simple wrappers to gen

Re: limit_choices_to: getting access to current instance

I'm not quite sure if this is helpful - it's not a general solution on the ForeignKey specification so wouldn't work in admin, for example, but it worked for me with my own form... I was creating a view for a 'change' form. One parameter passed to the view (from the URL) was an organisation i

limit_choices_to: getting access to current instance

I currently have a drop down for a model where I'd only like to show choices that are currently "active". That's easy enough with: foo = models.ForeignKey(Foo, limit_choices_to={'active__exact':True}) But if someone is working with a model where the "foo" that they had previousl
