Hi again! :)
I haven't thought this idea through, and very well could be
wildly inefficient! :)
Though in your admin.py when registering the admin model do something like
this:
from myproject.myapp.models import MyModel, OtherModel
class MyModelAdmin(models.admin):
object_i_want = OtherModel.objects.get(field_i_care_about=whatever)
prepopulated_fields = { "field_i_care_about":
(object_i_want.field_i_care_about)
admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
