Description (last modified by James Pic)

Currently, the model field builds the default form field that's used
by the modelform metaclass in Field.formfield(). It uses hardcoded defaults which it would be nice to be able to override with attributes.

Example patch: ​https://github.com/jpic/django/commit/d102f362f3c1ceaf2d5224d71f788c0821a481ae

This patch allows to use Radio widget by default for a OneToOne field:

    class TestModel(models.Model):
        name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

        test = models.OneToOneField(
            'self',
            null=True,
            blank=True,
            related_name='related_test_models',
            # This seems like it would always be useful
            formfield_defaults={
                'widget': forms.RadioSelect
            }
        )
