You can override your Media_biz admin model's get_form method and inject your initial values. It would be something like this: def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs): form = super(YourMedia_bizAdmin, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs) try: currency_default = Default.objects.get(name='currency') currency = Currency.objects.get(name=currency_default.value) form.fields['currency'].initial = currency.pk except Default.DoesNotExist: pass try: rental_default = Default.objects.get(name='rental_period') form.fields['rental_period'].initial = rental_default.value except Default.DoesNotExist: pass return form -RD --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
