Description
In a model one can do .select_related('foo__bar').
However in the admin view if one has select_related = ('foo__bar', ) it raises the error Non-relational field given in select_related: 'bar'. Choices are: .... One has to do select_related = ('foo', ). Hence to select only certain fields, one has to override the get_queryset.
Seems a bit inconsistent? I guess it goes hand in hand with not allowing foreign key fields in list display (#5863) etc.
