#22413: Allow model instance attributes in ModelAdmin.fields -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: moritzs | Owner: nobody Type: New | Status: new feature | Version: master Component: | Keywords: ModelAdmin instance attribute field contrib.admin | Has patch: 0 Severity: Normal | UI/UX: 0 Triage Stage: | Unreviewed | Easy pickings: 0 | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Say your model uses `__getattr__` like that:
{{{ class MyModel(models.Model): value = models.CharField(max_length=20) def __getattr__(self, name): if name == 'reversed_value': return self.value[::-1] else: raise AttributeError() }}} Then you can't use the attribute `reversed_value` in `ModelAdmin.fields` because the attribute is only defined in a model '''instance''' but not in the class itself. I suggest adding a field `model_instance_fields` in `ModelAdmin` that contains the names of all fields that will be only defined in model instances. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22413> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
