Re: Problem with Form with ForeignKey field

Does it have anything to do with the related name of animal being `+`? I can't test this out just yet, but I don't THINK you can have a related_name as just `+`, I believe it needs to be a valid identifier.

Hi

Django 1.5

I have a model which includes a ForeignKey field defined likes this

class Document(models.Model):
  name = models.CharField(max_length=25, unique=True,
        null=False,blank=False)
  target = models.CharField(max_length=12,
        choices=TARGETS,default='report')
  content = models.TextField(null=False, blank=False)
  fieldlist = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
  multitarget = models.BooleanField(default=True, null=False,blank=False)
  template = models.ForeignKey('Template',null=True,blank=True,
        related_name='documents')
  animal = models.ForeignKey('Animal',null=True,blank=True,
        related_name='+')

the Animal table is quite large (>3000 records)

When a form template is called, there are no input fields rendered, just a
"save" button

If the Animal field is suppressed in the form with

    class Meta(object):
        model = Document
        exclude = ['animal',]

the form renders correctly with appropriate input fields

Could someone suggest how to track down what is causing the problem with
the Animal selector when it is being generated? Is there a data issue
perhaps?

Thanks
