.. attribute:: ForeignKey.limit_choices_to
A dictionary of lookup arguments and values (see :doc:`/topics/db/queries`)
- that limit the available admin or ModelForm choices for this object. Use
- this with functions from the Python ``datetime`` module to limit choices of
- objects by date. For example::
+ that limit the available admin or :class:`ModelForm <django.forms.ModelForm>`
+ choices for this object. For example::
- limit_choices_to = {'pub_date__lte': datetime.date.today}
+ staff_member = models.ForeignKey(User, limit_choices_to={'is_staff': True})
- only allows the choice of related objects with a ``pub_date`` before the
- current date to be chosen.
+ causes the corresponding field on the ``ModelForm`` to list only ``Users``
+ that have ``is_staff=True``.
Instead of a dictionary this can also be a :class:`~django.db.models.Q`
object for more :ref:`complex queries <complex-lookups-with-q>`. However,
