#34345: filter_horizontal and filter_vertical don't work with through - limitation not documented -----------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: David Pratten | Owner: nobody Type: Bug | Status: new Component: Documentation | Version: 4.1 Severity: Normal | Keywords: Gotcha Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 1 UI/UX: 0 | -----------------------------------------+------------------------ Hi team,
I'm a huge fan of Django and have been using it since 0.95 but I stumbled over this one. Neither of - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.filter_horizontal and - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.filter_vertical call out the requirement to **not** use {{{ ManyToManyField(through="") }}} In the same way: - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.ManyToManyField.through doesn't call out the consequence that filter_horizontal and filter_vertical will stop working if one goes down the pathway of: {{{ ManyToManyField(through="") }}} I just wasted half a day chasing this down. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/34345> 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.
