Comment (by CuriousG102):
Anyone who googles this and finds themselves in the same rut, here's a
useful stopgap. Override the ModelAdmin's form with a form subclassed off
of this.
{{{
class LimitChoicesBaseForm(ModelForm):
limit_choices_methods = []
def __init__(self, data=None, files=None, auto_id='id_%s',
prefix=None,
initial=None, error_class=ErrorList, label_suffix=None,
empty_permitted=False, instance=None):
super(LimitChoicesBaseForm, self).__init__(data=data, files=files,
auto_id=auto_id, prefix=prefix,
initial=initial,
error_class=error_class, label_suffix=label_suffix,
empty_permitted=empty_permitted, instance=instance)
for method in self.limit_choices_methods:
formfield = self.fields[method['field_name']]
if hasattr(formfield, 'queryset'):
filter_q_object = method['method'](instance)
formfield.queryset =
formfield.queryset.filter(filter_q_object)
}}}
