I don't know what you mean by 'returns the entire Model'. Model choice fields use as their display values the __unicode__ value of the items in the queryset. If that isn't defined, you'll get something like "Area object". The solution is simply to define a __unicode__ method, which is good practice anyway. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
