plugins: filter in forms.py

[andershagman]

Netbox ver 3.5.4

How do you set a filter in forms.py to only show desired list in DynamicModelChoiceField?
The code shows the whole list as if all() has bin used.

Here is an example ( SiteGroup.objects.filter(name__icontains="L3") ). It works from nbshell.

class L3SiteForm(NetBoxModelForm):
    sitegroup = DynamicModelChoiceField(
        queryset=SiteGroup.objects.filter(name__icontains="L3")
    )
    l3vrf = DynamicModelMultipleChoiceField(
        queryset=VRF.objects.all(),
        required=False,
    )

query_params: A dictionary of additional key/value pairs to attach to the API request

Just search the source for query_params and there will be plenty of examples. The DynamicModelChoiceField is dynamic (how about that), so setting a static queryset does nothing as the field gets the data from the API client-side. Setting query_params will include what ever set in the API request, so make sure you have whatever you want to filter by implemented in your API.

Here is the solution for me.

    sitegroup = DynamicModelChoiceField(
        queryset=SiteGroup.objects.all(),
        query_params={'name__ic': ['L3', 'L2']}
    )
