#27810: ModelAdmin list_display callable does not support query expressions in admin_order_field -----------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: Andreas Pelme | Owner: nobody Type: New feature | Status: new Component: contrib.admin | Version: master Severity: Normal | Keywords: Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 0 UI/UX: 0 | -----------------------------------------+------------------------ Query expressions cannot currently be used with admin_order_field in a callable on list_display. The code expects a string and crashes when an query expression object is passed instead. This example shows the problem:
{{{ def full_name(obj): return f'{obj.first_name} {obj.last_name}' my_callable.admin_order_field = Concat(F('first_name'), F('last_name')) }}} ... which leads to a crash like this: {{{ ... self.queryset = self.get_queryset(request) File "/Users/andreas/code/django/django/contrib/admin/views/main.py", line 346, in get_queryset ordering = self.get_ordering(request, qs) File "/Users/andreas/code/django/django/contrib/admin/views/main.py", line 260, in get_ordering if order_field.startswith('-') and pfx == "-": AttributeError: 'CombinedExpression' object has no attribute 'startswith' }}} It would make sense to be able to make use of all the nice stuff that has gone into query expression from the admin in this case! :) -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27810> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
