Re: Prepopulate some fields in a admin add form

First, just to make absolutely clear you understand, the "user's name"
isn't the foreign key itself -- that would be the user's ID. The
user's name is what would be displayed to help you *select* the
correct ID, under the hood.

To the question at hand, it's quite simple to add a method to your
ModelAdmin class that will act on the foreign key field for your user:
