Hello, Is there a way to set dynamic default values for custom fields in the admin?
Description of the problem: # models.py # there are two models class Meal(models.Model): name = ... def check_new_price(self, price): # checks if the price is new and creates a new price if neccessary class Price(models.Model): meal = models.ForeignKey(Meal, ....) valid_to = models.DateField(....) # None for current price amount = CurrencyField() # nearly identical to IntegerField # admin.py # I extended the Admin with a custom form: class MealModelForm(forms.ModelForm): price = CurrencyFormField() # Nearly identical to Decimalfield class Meta: model = Meal class MealAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = MealModelForm .... def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change): super(MealAdmin, self).save_model(request, obj, form, change) obj.check_new_price(form.cleaned_data['price']) My question is: How do i tell the django admin to display the current price in the form field? I already tried to add an "price"-attribute in the ModelAdmin.get_object() method, but that doesn't work. If I call the Admin page for a meal, the price is blank instead of displaying the current price. So, repeating my first question: Is there a way to set dynamic default values for custom fields in the admin? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
