From 6acaa5238668593d6d854b28dbfa65e95796585c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Chapple Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 22:34:19 +0000 Subject: Fixed #22135 -- Added ModelAdmin.get_changeform_initial_data(). Allows custom behavior for setting initial form data in ModelAdmin. By default, initial data is set via GET params. The new method allows this behavior to be overridden. Thanks egasimus for the suggestion. --- docs/ref/contrib/admin/index.txt | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/ref') diff --git a/docs/ref/contrib/admin/index.txt b/docs/ref/contrib/admin/index.txt index 2c852a3ee4..f2fdd39714 100644 --- a/docs/ref/contrib/admin/index.txt +++ b/docs/ref/contrib/admin/index.txt @@ -1709,6 +1709,21 @@ templates used by the :class:`ModelAdmin` views: ``obj_display`` is a string with the name of the deleted object. +.. method:: ModelAdmin.get_changeform_initial_data(request) + + .. versionadded:: 1.7 + + A hook for the initial data on admin change forms.
