You could try dynamically changing the field choices in the form's
__init__ method on post. Something like:
class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, data, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(data, *args, **kwargs)
if data:
office = data['office']
users = office.user_set.all() # or whatever
self.fields['users'].choices = [(u.id, u.name) for u in
users]
