How to filter choices in Django2's autocomplete_fields?

[Oren]

In Django 2.0, autocomplete_fields was added, which is great.

Without autocomplete_fields, I can change the queryset of a ForeignKeyField using formfield_for_foreignkey.

But combining the two together doesn't work - it looks like the list of options for autocomplete is dynamic and coming from a different url, instead of from the current form.

So the question is -

How can I change the queryset in the autocomplete widget?

Thanks,

Oren

You need to override  ModelAdmin.get_search_results()  as per https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.autocomplete_fields

My problem is I override ForeignKeyField in AdminForm, where I can filter based on self.instance, this is not possible in current implementation AFAICS? The instance ID would have to be passed to the autocomplete_view
