Description (last modified by )
Currently, whenever one has to attach a GenericRelation to a model, one has to select the contenttype instance from a drop-down and manually enter the ID of the object of that particular model.
Since my project involved maintaining a model of 10,000 instances, I can't afford to keep track of their IDs so, instead, I created pop-up which fires on selecting the entity_content_type (similar to raw_id_fields).
If this can be a feature in Django, let me know. I can submit a patch which can solve this issue.
Once an object is selected, it will automatically populate entity_object_id with the selected object's ID.
