The proposed solution was to use a callable as the argument for choices, but it appears this has not been executed for fields but for forms only.

If you really need dynamic choices than a ForeignKey is the best solution.

An alternative solution can be to add the requirement through a custom clean method for the field and/or creating a custom form. Form fields do support callable choices.
