    <p>My admin looks like this (with no exclude variable):</p> <pre><code>class MovieAdmin(models.ModelAdmin) fields = ('name', 'slug', 'imdb_link', 'start', 'finish', 'added_by') list_display = ('name', 'finish', 'added_by') list_filter = ('finish',) ordering = ('-finish',) prepopulated_fields = {'slug': ('name',)} form = MovieAdminForm def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs): form = super(MovieAdmin, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs) form.current_user = request.user return form admin.site.register(Movie, MovieAdmin) </code></pre> <p>The form:</p> <pre><code>class MovieAdminForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Movie def save(self, commit=False): instance = super(MovieAdminForm, self).save(commit=commit) if not instance.pk and not self.current_user.is_superuser: if not self.current_user.profile.is_manager: instance.added_by = self.current_user.profile instance.save() return instance </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to remove the added_by field for users since I'd prefer to populate that from the session. I've tried methods from the following:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2866896/django-admin-remove-field-if-editing-an-object/2866981#2866981">Django admin - remove field if editing an object</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1466512/remove-fields-from-modelform/1914812#1914812">Remove fields from ModelForm</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mdgart.com/2010/04/08/django-admin-how-to-hide-fields-in-a-form-for-certain-users-that-are-not-superusers/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.mdgart.com/2010/04/08/django-admin-how-to-hide-fields-in-a-form-for-certain-users-that-are-not-superusers/</a></li> </ul> <p>However with each one I get: <code>KeyError while rendering: Key 'added_by' not found in Form</code>. It seems I need to remove the field earlier in the form rendering process but I'm stuck on where to do this.</p> <p>So how can I exclude the <code>added_by</code> field for normal users?</p>

    1. COHow are you removing the `added_by` field from the form? That bit is not in the code you posted.

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.
