Description
If you have a GeneratedField with output_field set to DateField or DateTimeField, you cannot use it in the admin as a date_hierarchy because of a check. If you skip the check, it actually works just fine in my testing. I believe this the check could be adjusted to account for this.
# models.py
class TestModel(models.Model):
date_range = DateTimeRangeField(_("Date range"))
start_date = models.GeneratedField(
expression=Lower("date_range"),
output_field=models.DateTimeField(),
db_persist=True,
)
# admin.py
class TestAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
date_hierarchy = "start_date"
# Skipping checks actually makes this work exactly correctly
def check(self, *args, **kwargs):
return ()
I'll see if I can whip up a patch.
