29111	Use autocomplete_fields in list_filter for related models	Paul Tiplady		"In Django 2.0, support for select2 AJAX autocomplete fields was added:

https://github.com/django/django/pull/6385
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14370

This makes foreign key fields much more usable in the Admin, as the full list of objects doesn't need to be loaded to populate a dropdown list (as was the old way of doing this).

This issue covers using the new vendored select2 widgets to provide similar autocomplete functionality for the list_filter UI (specifically, presumably extending/replacing RelatedFieldListFilter).

Some discussion in the Github PR 6385 suggesting that the next step would be to open an issue to track this work."	New feature	new	contrib.admin	dev	Normal			Christophe Baldy	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
