So your model is like: class Folder(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User) # yadda yadda
And you want to give the user a form to sort an object into one of their own folders. So what you do is make a form like this: class ObjectSortForm(forms.Form): folder = models.ModelChoiceField(Folder.objects.all()) But, if your view, you don't actually want Folder.objects.all() - you want user.folder_set.all(). So, you have to set the form.fields['folder'].queryset attribute like this in your view: def my_view(request): if request.method=="POST": # yadda yadda form handling... else: form = ObjectSortForm() form.fields['folder'].queryset = request.user.folder_set.all() # etc etc... return render_to_response("my_template.html", dict(form=form)) Unfortunately, the docs are somewhat incomplete - they only explain how to set the initial queryset. I've been meaning to write up some documentation explaining the .queryset attribute, so thanks for spurring some action :) Adam On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 8:59 AM, chylld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have exactly the same problem; I just want to fill the ChoiceField > with a certain subset of choices based on the current user.
