You MUST use this template when reporting issues. Please make sure you follow the checklist and fill in all of the information sections below.

All versions of django-smart-selects prior to version 1.2.8 are vulnerable to an XSS attack as detailed in issue 171. As a result, all previous versions have been removed from PyPI to prevent users from installing insecure versions. All users are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.

Checklist

^{^{Put an x in the bracket when you have completed each task, like this: [x]}}

[X] This issue is not about installing previous versions of django-smart-selects older than 1.2.8. I understand that previous versions are insecure and will not receive any support whatsoever.
[ ] I have verified that that issue exists against the master branch of django-smart-selects.
[X] I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
[ ] I have debugged the issue to the smart_selects app.
[X] I have reduced the issue to the simplest possible case.
[X] I have included all relevant sections of models.py, forms.py, and views.py with problems.
[ ] I have used GitHub Flavored Markdown to style all of my posted code.

Steps to reproduce

Followed the instruction of usage (Continent, Country, Location models)
Added USE_DJANGO_JQUERY = True in settings.py
Added "path('chaining/', include('smart_selects.urls'))," to the app urls.py
Using Admin to check the behavior (as demonstrated in the test app)

Actual behavior

Getting "blank" field values for the country field (corresponding to the continent selected) with "show_all=False"
With show_all=True, all values of the "country" is visible
On changing the settings.py with "JQUERY_URL = True", getting ERROR: "bool' object has no attribute 'startswith' "

Expected behavior

The "country" field values should correspond to the continent value picked up in the choice (drop down) widget.

Addendum: Using:

Python 3.6 Django 2.0.6 smart-selects 1.5.4

Problem solved (on Admin). What I did:

Ran python3 manage.py collectstatic (from projects folder)
Upgraded js-unlinting-fixes by running pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/digi604/django-smart-selects.git@js-unlinting-fixes.

Note: I had missed the Step 1 first so even after installing the fix, the results was the same (no secondary key value)

Refreshed browser cache.

PS. I have used USE_DJANGO_JQUERY = True in settings .py file.

Must say lots of fine minds at this site. Thankful to everyone for putting their thoughts which makes this a really great melting pot of ideas. The only need is to put everything at one place (after of course, resolution of an issue happens).

Closing the issue.

Thank you for the solution!! I really would have never managed to do it on my own. Just a question to try to understand the solution: why "python manage.py collectstatic" solves everything?
