The admin interface appears to want to keep the primary_key numerical, and so breaks if you have set a field as primary_key=True.
Model:
class Airfield(meta.Model):
fields = (
meta.CharField('code', 'airfield code', maxlength=4, primary_key=True),
meta.CharField('name', 'name', maxlength=50),
)
admin = meta.Admin(
fields = (
(None, {'fields': ('code', 'name')}),
),
)
def __repr__(self):
return self.name
Result from trying to add an item through the admin interface:
There's been an error:
