Description
Hi All
Facing the following issue after migrating to 3.2.
Example:
class SomeModel(models.Model):
field1 = models.CharField(choices=[])
class SomeModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
init(*args, kwargs):
super().init(*args kwargs)
self.fieldsfield1 = <some choices dynamically generated>
class Meta:
model = SomeModel
fields = [ 'field1' ]
In the above case any choice selected is shown with the error "not a valid choice" this is happening because model fields is revalidated again in modelform._post_clean() function.
Intermediate solution is to remove choices from modelfield and reinitalize field in form init wiht dynamic choices. But In previous versions We had choices to only override some attributes of a field rather than reinitalizing whole field.
Thanks
