What do you mean here? I don't understand what an "addition choice" is. > How do I set the CHOICES to populate dynamically > and add the additional choice. You can't do this directly, since automatic alternative population either comes from the choices attribute (which is computed once) or by looking up a foreign key. What you can do, however, is construct the form field yourself (for form entry) and insert the choices manually. Right at the moment, for admin usage, that is probably a bit painful. For newforms-admin, though, it shouldn't be too hard, since you can subclass the Field and override the default form field method. Have a read of the code to see how this is used (look at formfield() in django/db/models/fields/__init__.py and django/contrib/admin/ in the newforms-admin branch).
