2647	"Error when changing ManyToManyField referencing ""self"" with raw_id_admin"	dart@…	Adrian Holovaty	"When a model field is defined as follows:

 subcomponents = models.ManyToManyField(""self"", blank=True, null=True,
            symmetrical=False,
            #raw_id_admin=True,  # <- Django bug activated: raw on ""self"" broken
            )

(with the comment removed) the admin interface will raise an ObjectNotFound exception when you edit an object of this type (and you don't have to change this particular field).

I narrowed it down through trial-and-error to that combination of parameters.
