How do I get the actual object id in a Django admin page (inside formfield_for_foreignkey)?

Question

I \'ve already solved the problem of getting the object id being edited using this code:

class CompanyUserInline(admin.StackedInline):
    \"\"\"
    Defines         


        

Answer 1

A more general approach could be writing an helper method to obtain the model instance (if any), much as you normally do with a (bounded) ModelForm, and from that retrieve the id or any other property:

from django.contrib import admin

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def get_instance(self, request):
        try:
            object_id = request.resolver_match.kwargs['object_id']
            obj = self.get_object(request, object_id)
        except:
            obj = None
        return obj
