#34624 assigned Bug

RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper links toggling isn’t working for radio widgets

Description (last modified by Thibaud Colas)

Spotted as part of #34622. In the Redirects contrib module, when creating a new redirect, the first field is for a Site instance. This is using a radio button (radio_fields ModelAdmin definition: https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/redirects/admin.py#L10). This uses RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper – which doesn’t work for radio widgets. Demo:

https://code.djangoproject.com/raw-attachment/ticket/34624/related-links.gif

If we look at RelatedObjectLookups.js, it seems clear this code was only written to support select widgets.

Tagging this contrib.admin because it seems to affect all usage of RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper – but as far as I can see in Django itself only contrib.redirects uses radio_fields.

---

In this instance I believe a select widget would be a much nicer experience anyway, so not entirely sure whether it makes sense to change the widget to fix this, or update the code to support radio buttons, or do both.

Accepting since I could easily reproduce the issue. In my opinion, we could perhaps do two things:

1- Separately consider whether the redirects app should be changed to use a select instead of a radioselect (think of a project with lots of Django Sites, the radio buttons would consume a lot of screen) This would be a separated ticket for the redirects site.

2- Actually fix the admin's RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper to work with radioselect or clealry document that only selects are supported.

I'll will first attempt 2.a: "Actually fix the admin's RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper to work with radioselect".

Hello! What is the status of this ticket?

I am planning to apply for GSoC, and so I think that trying to solve a ticket would give me a chance to get my hands dirty with the codebase. If this is not assigned to anyone, can I take a look?

Hello Anirudh, this ticket is free to be worked on. You can use the existing PR as a starting point. Thanks for wanting to contribute to Django!

This ticket looks unassigned and it seems no one is currently working on it. I'd like to try to tackle it and put up a PR if there are no objections.

Are you still working on the issue ?
if not, I'd like to try have a go on it :)
