I have following models:
class Policy(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
def __str__(self) -> str:
return self.name
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = 'Policies'
class Statement(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
policy = models.ForeignKey(
to=Policy,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
related_name='statements'
)
action = models.CharField(max_length=64)
resource = models.CharField(max_length=128)
and following simple model admin:
class PolicyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [StatementInline]
search_fields = [name,]
class Meta:
model = Policy
What I want to achieve is to enable search functionality on Policy change list, through which I can search Policy with the name field of Statement model in addition to policy name.
@admin.register(Policy)
class ExapmleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ("statements__name",)
class Meta:
model = Policy
admin.site.register(Statement)
On your admin.py file. You can search Policy with the name field of Statement model like this.
