33868	Admin “delete object(s)” view: improve labels of m2m relations	julian@pinabausch.org	nobody	"When deleting an object that has m2m relations in Django Admin, it shows a nice overview of what’s going to be deleted, including the records from m2m relations. Here’s a screenshot of a minimal example:


The labels for the m2m relations are constructed like this:

//Photo-person relationship: Photo_depicts object (1)//

//Photo-person relationship// makes perfect sense to me; //Photo_depicts object (1)// could be improved.

I suggest using the labels of the string representation of the concrete from- and to-objects.

Let me know what you think about it and I will see if I can come up with a patch.

Background:
Two years ago, I had a discussion on the Django developers mailing list about improving the labels that are used for m2m relations in Django Admin’s delete view. While reviewing old tickets to day, I checked the mailing list again and thought “Why not give it another shot?”.
