Now I add this to my Payment !ModelAdmin: {{{ list_filter = [""received_by""] }}} If I use a query string like ""?received_by!__id!__exact=2"" on the payment changelist view, there is no problem. This is the form that the admin itself uses for the filter. Using something more implicit like ""?received_by!__id=2"" works fine too. However, using ""?received_by!__pk=2"" raises !SuspiciousOperation. This was introduced by the security fix in r15031. The lookup_allowed method in admin/options.py explicitly makes an exception for ""!__id"" (or whatever the primary key attribute of the model is explicitly called), but it doesn't allow direct use of the 'pk' shortcut. The point of the security fix was to only allow lookups specified by list_filter. However, in its current form it also causes the query string syntax to diverge from the documented lookup syntax https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/db/queries/#the-pk-lookup-shortcut . I suggest allowing use of the pk shortcut in the query string. I would be happy to write a patch for this if the developers agree it should be fixed.",Bug,closed,contrib.admin,1.4,Normal,wontfix,,,Design decision needed,0,0,0,0,0,0
