Sorry for long delay on this thread. Back at the problem now.

Ah!

That would be easy IF I could access fields on the model it references to see what the boolean is currently set to. I've been reading everything I can find, including http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/media/#media-as-a-dynamic-property but still can't see how to access a field value on a model from the admin. To boil it down, is it possible to get something similar to the print statement below to work (once I can print it out I can use it in the conditional). # models.py class Tutorial(models.Model): use_visual_editor = models.BooleanField() # admin.py class TutorialAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): def _media(self): print [current value of use_visual_editor for the instance] js = ['/paths/to/media',] return forms.Media(js=js) media = property(_media) admin.site.register(Tutorial, TutorialAdmin) I appreciate your help - this has turned out to be one of those problems that looks trivial but turns out hair-pulling.
