Do not use select field to display list of users #3830
Conversation
When generating authtoken from admin interface, the defaut html form is unusable in presence of a large user base.

Fair enough. I'm not really sure which of the two cases we should optimize this for. Using raw_ids makes sense if that'll allow it to be usable in all cases, but it's a shame that it'll impact users who don't require this too. Could you include screenshots of how the admin appears in each case. Also perhaps a note on this issue how to monkeypatch/tweak this for users who want the default case? That way we can consider documenting how to most easily customize the admin display for each case. |

To be honest raw_id_fields works better with autocomplete. In other hand, I tried your suggestion, we can monkey patch the Admin class, in our project. It works also.
from rest_framework.authtoken.admin import TokenAdmin
TokenAdmin.raw_id_fields = ('user',)then it is a matter of documenting it. |
I think I'd probably prefer that, rather than changing the existing behavior. |

ok, thanks for the feedback. |
