Hi,,
I have encountered an issue where I have specified a 'to_field' in my
foreign key and the autocomplete widget tries to enter the primary key of
the related model instead. This means I cannot submit the form and I get
the "Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available
choices." error.
In the AutocompleteJsonView:
{{{
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Return a JsonResponse with search results of the form:
{
results: [{id: "123" text: "foo"}],
pagination: {more: true}
}
....
....
return JsonResponse({
'results': [
{'id': str(obj.pk), 'text': str(obj)}
for obj in context['object_list']
],
'pagination': {'more': context['page_obj'].has_next()},
})
}}}
Is there a way to replace the id manually when saving the form?
Thanks.
