In the example below, the select elements in the admin interface include every story, not just stories which have a start date in the past. For inlined tables where there are thousands of records this can bloat admin page sizes beyond usability. In models.py: {{{ class PageContent(models.Model): stories = models.ManyToManyField('Story', limit_choices_to={'start_date__lte': datetime.now()}, through='PageContentStoryMembership') class PageContentStoryMembership(models.Model): page_content = models.ForeignKey(PageContent) story = models.ForeignKey('Story') weight = models.IntegerField(null=False, default=0) }}} In admin.py: {{{ class PageContentStoryMembershipInline(admin.TabularInline): model = PageContentStoryMembership class PageContentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): inlines = [PageContentStoryMembershipInline] }}} | nobody | TrevorFSmith | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
