Django ModelForm - form display values

Question

I have a model:

class SchedulerProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    la         


        

Answer 1

Subclass ModelMultipleChoiceField and override label_from_instance.

from django.forms import ModelMultipleChoiceField

class SchedulerProfileChoiceField(ModelMultipleChoiceField):
    def label_from_instance(self, obj):
        return "%s %s" % (obj.first_name, obj.last_name)

Then use your multiple choice field in the model form.

class OfficialProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
    schedulers = SchedulerProfileChoiceField(queryset=SchedulerProfile.objects.all())
