Description

When you have many values for a ForeignKey the ability to filter it comes very handy.

From a quick look at the code this is what is required:

  • update contrib/admin/checks.py, contrib/admin/validation.py, contrib/admin/options.py to permit filter_* on ForeignKeys
  • make FilteredSelectMultiple accept a max_entries limit so that a ForeignKey is limited to 1 filtered entry but a ManyToMany may have any limit > 1
  • have the javascript work accordingly with the aforementioned limit

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it's better to use raw_id_fields which is already designed for ForeignKey.
