Yes, see the description of blank right underneath null in the docs here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#null > > 2. When I choose the category when adding a newsitem the Category > title doesn´t show up in the selectbox, instead there´s just "Category > object", "Category object", "Category object" etc.. how do I set which > field in the Category class I would like to have in the selectbox? > Sounds like you have not defined a __str__() or __unicode__() method for your models. As noted here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/#playing-with-the-api "It's important to add __unicode__() methods to your models, not only for your own sanity when dealing with the interactive prompt, but also because objects' representations are used throughout Django's automatically-generated admin." Whether you want __str__ or __unicode__ depends on what version of Django you are using. 0.96 release you should define __str__, for a more recent svn checkout you should define __unicode__.
