Django Admin does not use `get_FOO_display`

I had a model having a field that uses Choices 

    status = FSMField(default=STATUSES.PENDING, choices=STATUSES, protected=True)

I did override  the `get_status_display ` and its effect was not applied in the Django admin  

I looked up Django code and found 

```
def display_for_field(value, field, empty_value_display): from django.contrib.admin.templatetags.admin_list import _boolean_icon if getattr(field, "flatchoices", None): return dict(field.flatchoices).get(value, empty_value_display)

``` I changed it to use get_FOO_display and it worked,

my question is why does it have this behavior? and how in my application can I make use of this?

Thank you.
