Selectize with 'dynamic' choices, without model

[tobhv]

Hello,

selectize looks good. documentation mentions how to create a dynamic choicefield: https://django-formset.fly.dev/selectize/#usage-with-dynamic-number-of-choices How about nonmodel based dynamic choices ?

something like:

    group = DynamicChoiceField(
        label='groups of my third party system',
        widget=Selectize,
        choices=list_groups(),
        required=False
    )```

or are there any other options to reload the static ChoiceField somehow ?
(the choicefield already works with the list_groups() method. it;s just not dynamic / run again when i revisit the form unless the app gets restarted.

thanks!

hm. answer to my own question:

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyUserForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['group'].choices = list_groups()

issue solved..

A somehow cleaner way to solve this, is to create your own version of IncompleteSelectResponseMixin. Here you fetch data from any other source. However, this in my opinion only makes sense if you have a non-ORM based database, such as Redis or MongoDB for instance.
