Description
When using ModelAdmin.prepopulated_fields to populate a field based on entry into another field it would be very useful to be able to supply a map function which modifies the value before pre-population.
My particular use-case, is to pre-populate a field using the filename of the file being uploaded to a FileField, which using the current option ends up including something like "cfakepath" as a prefix.

Thanks for this ticket, however it's quite niche and the Django Admin is not an universal tool for building an app. You can always add a custom JS to handle this in your own project.
Feel-free to start a discussion on DevelopersMailingList if you don't agree, but I don't think there would be consensus to add that complexity.
