[Answer]-Django ModelChoiceField to_field_name is not working

by

1👍

to_field_name changes the values of the generated option elements, not the display text.

You want to add a __str__ method to your model. It will change the display of each object instance listed in the select element.

Class Games(Model):
   code = charField()  # GTA, ABC, etc..
   name = charField()  # Grand Tourismo, ALL BBB CCC , etc..
   unique_together(code, name)

   def __str__(self):
      return self.code
