Test project to show issues for sehmaschine/django-grappelli#738

This project has translated Tag model, with one Tag object with name_en='en name' and name_de='de name'. It also has autocomplete_search_fields returning ['name__icontains']

So grappelli should be able to autocomplete tags by name (as modeltranslation rewrites queries, and name becomes name_en):

http://localhost:8000/grappelli/lookup/autocomplete/?term=name&app_label=test_app&model_name=tag

But it answers with zero results, however.

There are two ways to solve the problem:

• install patched grappelli, which doesn't instantiate and then merge new QuerySet:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/tsouvarev/django-grappelli@use-models-queryset-in-autocomplete-lookup

• change autocomplete_search_fields to ['name_en__icontains']
