I haven't brought this up for quite a while, but ``to_field`` still
does not function properly (at least as of 1.1, I haven't noticed any
changes addressing it though). The issue is that anywhere you do a GET
lookup, it doesn't process the to_field properly::
# TODO: waiting on to_field fix
try:
opt = cls.objects.get(business=business.business_id,
key=key)
except cls.DoesNotExist:
opt = cls.objects.create(business=business, key=key,
value=value)
This seems to have been solved in the admin branch when newforms-admin
landed, but seems mostly ignored in the core field's. This issue has
also existed as far as I can remember, which is quite some time :)
So, what do we need to get the ball rolling on this. I don't have much
time myself to commit, but if it's minor things such as writing some
tests that easily reproduce all errors we've found. We'll glady commit
those. Other than though my day is just filled, but I'd love to see
this get fixed. It's something that's advertised as a core feature,
has been for 3+years, and simply doesn't work.
On a side note, something that I also believe is a bug, is that
ManyToManyRel.get_related_field() returns the primary key field no
matter what. I'm not sure if thats the intended functionality of that
or not, but to me it sounds like this should refer to the field in the
through model (even if that model is virtual) that it's pointing to.
