Re: Can model subclass change field options?

Hi Brian,

that works so far for displaying the correct choices in the admin
interface. But the problem now is the validation. He always tells me
that my choice is not a correct value.
I have been looking for a way to change validation but I can't figure
out how to do this...

Thanks for your help so far.

Jonas
