Hello, This is a tricky question that's been bothering me for over a year.
I'm working with french historians on a project called Dezède<http://dezede.org/> (source on github <https://github.com/dezede/dezede>). For several models they need to specify one or two "spatiotemporal coverage(s)": when and where something happened. And sometimes they don't have exact dates|places, so they need CharFields to specify such approximations. And sometimes they just have a date without a place, etc. So I ended up with models similar to those you can find below. (Sorry, it's a bit complex, but I promise it's simpler than the originals<https://github.com/dezede/dezede/tree/master/libretto/models> ) But this has a flaw. When a user wants to specify Person.birth, he has to click on the magnifying glass, a popup opens with all the SpatioTemporalCoverages he can't choose (because of the OneToOneField), and he finally creates a new one. That's awkward. If he wants to modify it, it's even more complex, so that creating a new one is the best solution. That's even awkwarder. My question is therefore: Is there a way to edit these SpatioTemporalCoverages directly from other admin change forms (Person, Work and Event)? The closest solution I found is django-formfield<https://github.com/jsoa/django-formfield> . Thanks!
