OneToOneField limit_choices_to filters parent set in admin

[Peter Baumgartner]

Setting limit_choices_to on a OneToOneField filters the queryset displayed in admin for the parent field.

Seeing this in current SVN (6304)

Example models:

from django.db import models

class Place(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    
    class Admin:
        pass
    
    def __unicode__(self):
        return u"%s the place" % self.name

class Restaurant(models.Model):
    place = models.OneToOneField(Place, limit_choices_to={'name': 'My Place'})
    serves_hot_dogs = models.BooleanField()
    serves_pizza = models.BooleanField()

    class Admin:
        pass

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u"%s the restaurant" % self.place.name

To further clarify, in the above example, only places with the name 'My Place' will be displayed in admin.

I'm a bit confused -- limit_choices_to is supposed to limit the choices... what did you expect to happen?

[Peter Baumgartner]

From the example above, I would expect limit_choices_to to limit the Place choices in the Restaurant model.

The unexpected behavior comes when viewing Place objects in admin. It only displays objects that match the limit_choices_to that is set in Restaurant

I haven't checked whether this still occurs in trunk.

[Jacob]

Please do check if this still applies on trunk and close the ticket if it doesn't.

Does anyone know if this occurs in newforms-admin, this seems like a problem with the admin filtering, not necessarily the model/queryset.

[Preston Timmons]

I tested this against [16164] using the models above in the current admin. The admin list display for Places worked properly for me. I'm closing this as working in newforms-admin.
