First, just to make absolutely clear you understand, the "user's name" isn't the foreign key itself -- that would be the user's ID. The user's name is what would be displayed to help you *select* the correct ID, under the hood.
To the question at hand, it's quite simple to add a method to your ModelAdmin class that will act on the foreign key field for your user: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.formfield_for_foreignkey On Aug 21, 2:59 am, gondor <condor.c...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a simple admin model for inputting a note with a date into the > database.
