from django.forms.widgets import Select from django.forms.models import ModelChoiceField from Server_Automation.target_mgmt.models import Target class AutoCompleteWidget(Select): def render(self, name, value, attrs=None, choices=()): logger.debug(value) # Logs 1 (the id) logger.debug(choices) # Logs and empty tuple super(AutoCompleteWidget, self).render(name, value, choices) class AutoCompleteField(ModelChoiceField): widget = AutoCompleteWidget class TicketForm(ModelForm): target = AutoCompleteField(queryset=Target.objects.all()) class Meta: model = Ticket exclude = ('slug',) For a reason I ignore, my model just doesn't want to pass the choices to the widget and it takes the default value (an empty tuple). I verified this by changing the default value and checking the log. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
