Django generic relation admin site

Question

I am using Django 1.9.9 with generic relations and in the admin site, I have to manually type in the Object ID. Is there any method so that I can select an object from a list like a regular foreign key?

Here are two ready to try packages for what you'd like:

• Django-genericdropdown :

  A simple dropdown the make the hassle of picking to the right object when using generic relations

• django-gfklookupwidget :

  A widget to replace the object_id in a generic relation with a search link. It will open a popup to select a related item based on the content_type field. It supports inlines.
