Feature request: Dropdown select

[eriktelepovsky]

Hello.

It would be great to have a filter field with dropdown select widget. Useful for filters with too many choices.

Can you consider?

What about regular Django admin select dropdown?

[eriktelepovsky]

Yes. How to use it in filters?

[vb64]

There is an example by the link above.

But that example is for ModelForm, not for filter in the list.

[vb64]

What do you mean by "filter in the list"?

Can you give a clear description for your use case?

[eriktelepovsky]

Well, this library adds new useful filters for DjangoAdminFilters. I suggested the new filter type "dropdown select" which is not available by default in Django. The link you sent just describes how to use selects in ModelAdmin (change form) not AdminFilters (in the list of objects).

Here is a ready-made solution to this problem.

Have you tried using it?
