form as filter in admin site

[Luis Zárate]

I am trying to insert a filter in the admin site that have 2 autocomplete inputs so I was thinking to do  passed a form  with a custom filter, but I only find a list filter documentation.

I solved the problem writing a custom filter, with a little problem with css, because change list view  has few width space for filter so input looks terrible.

i needed to search in the django code because i didn't find in documentation.

I think my solution is generic so I am asking me if django has this functionally implemented, I didn't find but maybe you know something about.
