Django search field in the database-CodePudding

is it possible to change my display employe to a search block because when I select the numbers it displays a list which is not practical when I have a lot of numbers in my database.

add info to an existing employee

CodePudding user response：

You can define __str__() method for your Employee model, it result would be seen in admin dropdown

class Employee(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    ...

    def __str__(self):
        return self.first_name

CodePudding user response：

Try select2 widget, this should be more than enough for you.
