Re: Can model subclass change field options?

HI, Artemis,

If I understand you correctly you want to use a Select Widget for your CharField. And feed your choices to the select widget.

In your admin.py file of your app you will want to override the model's form field. 

# models.py

from django.db import models

myModel(models.Model):

  person = models.CharField()

  title = models.CharField()

# admin.py

from django.contrib import admin

from django.forms import widgets

myModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

  title = CharField(widget=widgets.Select(choices=('mr','mrs','miss'))

admin.site.register(myModel, myModelAdmin)

This code hasnt been tested but should be the route you want to take. You can find more info on widgets here(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/forms/widgets/). I hope this helps you.
