hrm, I think I'm _finally_ starting to understand how django is meant to be used.
Question: Why can't I just specify the widget used by a particular field from my model in the admin interface. stains = models.CommaSeparatedIntegerField(widget=SelectMultiple (choices=STAIN_CHOICES)) ...or can I? You suggested something like this earlier only referred to forms.CommaSeparatedIntegerField rather than models.CommaSeparatedIntegerField. hrm On Mar 24, 10:59 am, Brian Neal <bgn...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mar 24, 8:55 am, Adam Fraser <adam.n.fra...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Still doesn't work.
