-----------------------------------------+------------------------
When using `ModelAdmin.prepopulated_fields` to populate a field based on
entry into another field it would be very useful to be able to supply a
map function which modifies the value before pre-population.
My particular use-case, is to pre-populate a field using the filename of
the file being uploaded to a `FileField`, which using the current option
ends up including something like "cfakepath" as a prefix.

Comment:
Thanks for this ticket, however it's quite niche and the Django Admin is
not an [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/contrib/admin/#module-
django.contrib.admin universal tool for building an app]. You can always
add a custom JS to handle this in your own project.
Feel-free to start a discussion on DevelopersMailingList if you don't
agree, but I don't think there would be consensus to add that complexity.
