raw_id_fields not working, exclude and fields in customized form not working! about django-easy-select2 HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey @a-roomana

Thanks for posting your query.

for the 1st, raw_id_fields is a property of ModelAdmin, not ModelForm. For such a scenario, you can either not use custom form, then raw_id_fields would work directly with ModelAdmin or you can assign a custom widget in the form you are making.
in the below lines, I am assuming your Page model would be having a field ext_user as a foreignKey to User model
ext_user = forms.ModelChoiceField( User.objects.all(), widget=ForeignKeyRawIdWidget(Album._meta.get_field("ext_user").remote_field, admin.site) )

remote_field is introduced in django 2.0 (helper-link)

for the 2nd, its a bug actually of which I am not sure yet. But a work-around is to copy excludes in the PageAdmin class as well. It works then

so the code would be like

class PageUpdateAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    ext_user = forms.ModelChoiceField(
        User.objects.all(),
        widget=ForeignKeyRawIdWidget(Album._meta.get_field("ext_user").remote_field, admin.site)
    )
    class Meta:
        model = Page
        exclude = ('site', 'type')

@admin.register(Page)
class PageAdmin(AdminViewMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
	form = select2_modelform(Page, form_class=PageUpdateAdminForm)
	raw_id_fields = ('user',)
        **exclude = ('site', 'type')**

let me know if it works or not for you. Also if some problem persists, please share the code or models that you have defined.
