Description
At the present moment, the admin's add view is hard-coded to get initial values from request.GET (see https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/options.py#L1363), which strikes me as quite inflexible. Would anyone be interested in seeing a get_initial_data(self, request)
method added to ModelAdmin
, which could then be overridden to specify arbitrary initial data for new objects?
