Django admin inline: select_related

Question

Using Django 1.8 on Python 3.4.1 with models:

class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    # some more fields here

    def _         


        

Answer 1

Inspired from @helpse answer you can also do the following if you just want to override the queryset for a single admin inline:

class ComingProductsInline(admin.TabularInline):
    model = ComingProducts

    def get_formset(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):
        formset = super(ComingProductsInline, self).get_formset(request, obj, **kwargs)
        queryset = formset.form.base_fields["priced_product"].queryset
        queryset = queryset.select_related("product")
        formset.form.base_fields["priced_product"].queryset = queryset
        return formset

It might be sufficient for most of the cases.
