Re: searching a model in admin with data from a related model

Yes, as far as I know if CustomerId was changed to:

customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer)

You would be able to say:

search_fields = ['barcode', 'customer__first_name',
'customer__last_name']

...on your Tracker's ModelAdmin.

Cheers
