When deleting an object that has m2m relations in Django Admin, it shows a
nice overview of what’s going to be deleted, including the records from
m2m relations. Here’s a screenshot of a minimal example:
The labels for the m2m relations are constructed like this:
//Photo-person relationship: Photo_depicts object (1)//
//Photo-person relationship// makes perfect sense to me; //Photo_depicts
object (1)// could be improved.
I suggest using the labels of the string representation of the concrete
from- and to-objects.
Let me know what you think about it and I will see if I can come up with a
patch.
Background:
Two years ago, I had a discussion on the Django developers mailing list
about improving the labels that are used for m2m relations in Django
Admin’s delete view. While reviewing old tickets to day, I checked the
mailing list again and thought “Why not give it another shot?”.
