If I do this inside db.py, then the database administration system inside admin shows this under my field when inserting a new record in the admin UI: <function <lambda> at 0x0B4C14B0> And it also shows this in my field after insertion, when viewing the contents of the table. This is on 1.89.3. Either my behaviour is different to yours, or there is something fundamental that I misunderstand about how the admin database administration UI works.
