25114	ModelAdmin FK fields should default to raw_id	damon c	nobody	"Foreign key fields in the admin currently default to a behavior that can cause crashes and user inconvenience.

The default behavior is to render a <select> element containing ''every'' instance of the model referred to by the FK.  

When this field refers to a model that has for example, 100,000 or more entries, this can have the affect of crashing a server, a browser, or at best making new users confused about why they cannot view the admin page for this instance.

Defaulting to raw_id is safer and more reliable in most cases and presents minimal compromises in usability (in my opinion)."	Uncategorized	new	contrib.admin	1.8	Normal				Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
