Autocomplite for CharField

[BorisPlus]

Hello. i have the same problem in my project as #810

I want to autocomplite CharField of model

# models.py


class Pet(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(blank=False, null=False, default='Noname', max_length=50)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name


# forms.py


class PetForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Pet
        fields = [
            'name',
        ]
        widgets = {
            'name': autocomplete.ListSelect2(url='pet_name_lookup'),
        }

# admin.py


class PetAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = PetForm

admin.site.register(Pet, PetAdmin)


# view.py


class PetNameLookup(autocomplete.Select2ListView):

    def create(self, text):
        return text

    def get_list(self):
        result_list = []
        if self.q:
            data = Pet.objects.all().filter(name__icontains=self.q)[:10]

            result_list = [x.name for x in data]
        return result_list

On create admin form it works perfect, but when i try change pet name ListSelect2-widget set the field to blank.

Please help me. DAL is perfect!

It's perfect! Just redeclare, but need some additional attention in realization... this code is just step for future developing

class PetForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Pet
        fields = [
            'name',
        ]
        widgets = {
            'name': autocomplete.ListSelect2(url='pet_name_lookup'),
        }

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(PetForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['name'].widget.choices=[[self.instance.name, self.instance.name]]

[BorisPlus]

But how can i set

self.fields['base'].widget.choices=???

if i use autocomplete.ModelSelect2 in some base-field (it is foreign key for foreign key in current model)

EXAMPLE for Address:
Country -> City -> Street

I add fkCountry field in form for Street object.
Autocomplite work fine for forwarding City by Country and Street by City by i want set Country in form by already setted Street in address.

What happens when you set self.fields['country'].initial ?

[BorisPlus]

It`s PERFECT!

# in __init__ of form
 self.initial['base'] = self.instance.based.base

[BorisPlus]

JPLC! It's work too

self.fields['base'].initial = self.instance.based.base
