How do I filter ForeignKey choices in a Django ModelForm?

by

ForeignKey is represented by django.forms.ModelChoiceField, which is a ChoiceField whose choices are a model QuerySet. See the reference for ModelChoiceField.

So, provide a QuerySet to the field’s queryset attribute. Depends on how your form is built. If you build an explicit form, you’ll have fields named directly. 

form.rate.queryset = Rate.objects.filter(company_id=the_company.id)

If you take the default ModelForm object, form.fields["rate"].queryset = ...

This is done explicitly in the view. No hacking around.
