Sometimes you need to filter foreignkey choices in admin interface, to objects created by user or meeting some other condition. In django 1.0 there is no formfield_for_foreignkey method in ModelAdmin class so we have to make a workaround. Here is the solution I have found to be the easiest for me.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
form = super(MyAdmin,self).get_form(self,request, obj,**kwargs)
# form class is created per request by modelform_factory function
# so it's safe to modify
#we modify the the queryset
form.base_fields['foreign_key_field].queryset = form.base_fields['foreign_key_field].queryset.filter(user=request.user)
return form
