Well, either I'm not able to follow your example or we are talking about different things. In any case here is what I got working as a first draft. As a big benefit to me is the fact that I now understand these inner workings a little better. I was hoping to get away with simple wrappers to generic views but now I don't think that will be the case but it also doesn't worry me. :)
This is closely adapted from: http://code.pui.ch/2007/01/07/using- djangos-newforms/ from django import newforms as forms from django.newforms import widgets from django.template import loader, Context from django.http import HttpResponse def create_update_animal(request, animal_id=None): animal = None if animal_id: animal = Animal.objects.get(id=animal_id) animal_form = forms.models.form_for_instance(animal) else: animal_form = forms.models.form_for_model(Animal) if animal: available_protocols = Protocol.allowed_for_animal(animal) else: available_protocols = Protocol.active_list() protocol_choices = [('','--------')] + [(p.id,p.number) for p in available_protocols] animal_form.base_fields['protocol'].widget.choices = protocol_choices if animal: animal_form.base_fields['protocol'].widget.initial = animal.protocol_id if request.method == 'POST': form = animal_form(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect("/") else: form = animal_form() t = loader.get_template('tracker/animal_form.html') c = Context({ 'form': form, }) return HttpResponse(t.render(c)) If there is a way to do the above just using limit_choices_to, I'd still like to understand that method. Also if I'm doing anything particularly hacky feel free to mock me (but also instruct me as to a better way). thanks.
