How do I filter values in a Django form using ModelForm?

Question

I am trying to use the ModelForm to add my data. It is working well, except that the ForeignKey dropdown list is showing all values and I only want it to display the values

Here example:

models.py

class someData(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100,verbose_name="some value")

class testKey(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100,verbose_name="some value")
    tst = models.ForeignKey(someData)

class testForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = testKey

views.py

...
....
....
    mform = testForm()
    mform.fields["tst"] = models.forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=someData.objects.filter(name__icontains="1"))
...
...

Or u can try something like this:

class testForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = testKey

def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
    super (testForm,self ).__init__(*args,**kwargs)
    self.fields['tst'].queryset = someData.objects.filter(name__icontains="1")
