to_field and raw_id_fields popup in ModelAdmin

[David Cramer]

When using a to_field on a raw_id_field it fails under the following conditions:

1) Click the hourglass to find a foreign key.
2) Search (or filter)
3) Click the entry.

It inserts the primary key rather than the to_field.

However, if you do not search/filter it works just fine.

The problem seems to be with the fact that t=to_field is not passed on the search/filter.

[David Cramer]

A quick fix (problem doesn't cover all bases) for us was to comment out the following two lines in main.py:

        # if TO_FIELD_VAR in self.params:
        #     del self.params[TO_FIELD_VAR]

I'm experiencing the same issue. The fix dcramer suggests does not work for me - it simply makes selecting the record take you to the add/edit record page as opposed to closing the popup and taking back a value.

I just ran into the same issue. The problem is that TO_FIELD_VAR needs to be removed from the query lookup_params, but not from the params used to construct new urls. I will attach a patch.

Git formated patch that fixes the problem.

Thanks Collin, the patch looks good. I've added a test.
