However, I don't know if it's trivial to modify the admin in that way, and that's really not the kind of thing the admin was intended for. You should probably just make a form for this functionality. It would take about a minute, and the view wouldn't take much longer. For the second part, certainly. Just override the save function of the model. If the object already has a primary key, then don't save those fields. There may be a more elegant way to check whether it's already been saved than checking the instance.id, so maybe someone else will chime in.
