Changing Foreignkey's Defaults In Admin Site

I'd like to know how I can change the blank value of ForeignKey in admin site's forms. There blank is showed as '-----'. I wanna replace it by a word. Does someone know how to do i

Solution 1:

Create custom ModelForm and override your field there, then, assign this form class to form option of ModelAdmin. Like this:

#forms.pyclassCustomForm(forms.ModelForm):
    user = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=User.objects.all(), empty_label=u'label')

classMeta:
    model = MyModel

#admin.pyclassMyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
     form = CustomForm

Solution 2:

You need to use ModelChoiceField's empty_label.
