I have a model registered to the admin page, AuthUserFilePermissions, which consists of 2 foreign keys, a key to the defined groups, and a key to the filepatterns. Within the add AuthUserFilePermissions, there is a select for each. For the group this is fine, as there is only like 7-8. for the file patterns this is not good, as there are over 1000 file patterns. What I am trying to do is implement a search filter for the file pattern entry, similar to how in the add group page there is a filter for the permissions, around the select. Any Idea how I could complete this?

On a side note, the fields that I am entering within my modelAdmins are not appearing on the add page, so it would also be good to know why not.

For your filter problem, you probably need to use: https://github.com/farhan0581/django-admin-autocomplete-filter

Or even better... whu not use django's own auto complete feature in the admin: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.autocomplete_fields

It is not clear if those fields can be used in the admin list interface drop-down filters - is there a link to documentation for that?
