Comment:
Similar to #35566, `choices` needs to be set on `GeneratedField` so
{{{#!python
generated_choice = models.GeneratedField(
expression=models.F("normal_choice"),
output_field=models.CharField(choices=YearInSchool),
db_persist=False,
choices=YearInSchool,
)
}}}
In which case:
{{{#!python
myobj = MyModel.objects.create()
myobj.get_normal_choice_display()
# 'Freshman'
myobj.get_generated_choice_display()
# 'Freshman'
myobj.normal_choice # driven by the default value which wouldn't make
sense for the GeneratedField
# YearInSchool.FRESHMAN
myobj.generated_choice
# 'FR'
myobj.refresh_from_db()
myobj.normal_choice
# 'FR'
myobj.generated_choice
# 'FR'
}}}
