You're proposing something a bit different to the topic of the thread. The original poster is arguing for a change to the way data is described in order, solely, to affect the presentation. That's a fairly egregious hack and I'm strongly against that idea for precisely that reason -- it's symptom patching, not problem solving. I suggested in the django-users thread that was referenced that approaching this as a form field problem (which is what it is) is the right approach. Addressing this only in the admin would be short-sighted, however. A for field that new how to handle reverse relations would be the first step and then allowing the admin to use that is the second one. > > Such change is pretty logical, short and non-intrusive.
