36151	Non-editable FieldError raised when using a GenericForeignKey on a form.	James Pic	James Pic	"https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/35224 made GFK a Field with hard-coded editable=False

This breaks this very nice feature in Django 5.1 https://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.io/en/master/gfk.html

With exception: cannot be specified for TModel model form as it is a non-editable field. Check fields/fieldsets/exclude attributes of class TestAdmin

While I understand this is an interesting default protection for users, it would also be nice if Django would keep on allowing users to create their form fields for GFK if they want to, as they could until Django 5.0"	Bug	closed	contrib.contenttypes	5.1	Release blocker	wontfix		Adam Johnson Mariusz Felisiak	Accepted	1	1	0	1	0	0
