    <p>There's a difference between an object's string representation, and what it actually is. It seems likely that your <code>state</code> property returns an object whose unicode representation is <code>InProgress</code>, but that doesn't make it actually equal to <code>"InProgress"</code>. This would be true for example if <code>state</code> is a ForeignKey to another model - in which case you could just add another level to the lookup to get to the actual field that returns that status.</p> <p><strong>Edit after update</strong> I think you've coded yourself into a corner, unfortunately. Since there's no actual instance attribute that contains the state as a string, there's no way to get it via string comparison.</p> <p>A couple of possibilities spring to mind. One is to pass all possible <code>State</code> subclasses to the template context (perhaps via a context processor), after which you'll be able to compare your <code>state</code> with the actual objects. This is pretty horrible.</p> <p>An alternative would be to add a function, either on the <code>State</code> class or possibly on the model, which gets the state as a string. This could be as simple as the existing <code>__unicode__</code> method (you can't actually use that, because the template language forbids accessing attributes that begin with underscores). Then you can do <code>ifequal foo.bar.0.state.as_string "InProgress"</code> or whatever, and that will call the <code>as_string()</code> method and your comparison will succeed.</p>

    1. COYep. So, see my updated question - the class is a subclass of field, so it should behave like a CharField, right? In which case, how do I get that string value in the templating system?

    2. COoh, brilliant. That works perfectly. [To be clear - I can modify the state classes. I can't (easily) modify the place where the template gets called.]

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
