I have a two way foreign relation similar to the following
class Parent(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
favoritechild = models.ForeignKey("Child", blank=True, null=True)
class Child(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
myparent = models.ForeignKey(Parent)
How do I restrict the choices for Parent.favoritechild to only children whose parent is itself? I tried
class Parent(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
favoritechild = models.ForeignKey("Child", blank=True, null=True, limit_choices_to = {"myparent": "self"})
but that causes the admin interface to not list any children.
