Description

Comment in ModelChoiceField says: This class is a subclass of ChoiceField for purity, but it doesn't actually use any of ChoiceField's implementation.

But with model level validation method ModelChoiceField.clean calls Field.clean and it calls self.to_python and self.validate, in reality ChoiceField.to_python and ChoiceField.validate. And for ModelChoiceField these methods are useless and can be harmful - for example (my problem) with hidden ModelChoiceField choices were not created but they are now, it could be very ineffective.

Thanks, could you provide some tests for this behavior?

I attached test - it is quite artificial ("problem" in test could be solved with simple "select_related" in queryset), but it should prove that choices are really generated.

(In [12211]) Fixed #12510. Changed ModelChoiceField to stop using some of its superclasses implementation. This could cause more than one query when generating choices. Thanks, Petr Marhoun and Honza Kral.
