New description:
A combination of the recently implemented "autocomplete_fields" (awesome
btw!) with dynamic "limit_choices_to" that actually works on Foreign AND
ManyToMany fields both on Admin site and Custom Forms.
{{{
class Project
categories = M2M [having "Cat A", "Cat B", "Cat C", "Cat D", etc.]
subcategories = M2M [having "Sub A1", "Sub A2", "Sub B1", "Sub B2",
"Sub C1", "Sub C2", etc.]
}}}
When selecting ''Cat A'' in the **category** it would populate
**subcategory** limiting options to "Sub A1", "Sub A2", "Sub C1", "Sub
C2", based on their parents, but not "Cat B" nor "Cat D" children).
I know this is possible using Ajax, django-autocomplete-light or similar,
but it's so frequently used that I think it makes sense to be included in
Django itself.
Thank you!
