A combination of the recently implemented "autocomplete_fields" with
dynamic "limit_choices_to" that actually works on Foreign AND ManyToMany
fields both on Admin site and Custom Forms.
Sample case:
{{{
class Project
categories = M2M [having "Cat A", "Cat B", "Cat C", etc.]
subcategories = M2M [having "Sub A1", "Sub A2", "Sub C1", etc.]
}}}
When selecting ''Cat A'' in the **category** it would populate
**subcategory** limited based on which categories are selected)

"Sub C1", "Sub C2", etc.]
}}}
When selecting ''Cat A'' in the **category** it would populate
**subcategory** limiting options to "Sub A1", "Sub A2", "Sub C1", "Sub
C2", based on their parents, but not "Cat B" nor "Cat D" children).
I know this is possible using Ajax, django-autocomplete-light or similar,
but it's so frequently used that I think it makes sense to be included in
Django itself.

Comment:
Hi Jon — Sounds like a nice feature if it's feasible. I'm not sure it'll
be quite ''Easy Pickings'' but since you've assigned yourself, very happy
to have a look at one you come up with. Thanks!
