Currently, the model field defines the default form field that's used
by the modelform metaclass. It would be nice if we could override this.
For example, if a Radio widget should be used by default for a OneToOne
field:
{{{
class TestModel(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
test = models.OneToOneField(
'self',
null=True,
blank=True,
related_name='related_test_models',
# This seems like it would always be useful
formfield_defaults={
'widget': forms.RadioSelect
}
)
}}}
