admin generated form, change dropdown with selction from popup menu

[Aeh. ABID]

When dropdown could hold a pretty long list which may slowdown the page load, how can I override the drop-down menu in the change-form to a "read-only input" that can be filled with value from popup window.

Is there a way to display a field value other than id in the textbox

Yes, you will need to use a third-party app such as django-selectable (http://django-selectable.readthedocs.org/en/v0.8.X/admin.html)
