Description
The limit_choices_to property for ForeignKey, ManyToManyField etc currently only affects the admin page for the model. It does not currently limit choices for the ModelChoiceField/MultipleModelChoiceField when using ModelForm.
I find this slightly misleading to read, and inconvenient to use, as I would like to use limit_choices_to to place a constraint on the data across the board, not just in the admin screen.

Duplicate of #4096. The reason why this is the case is due to a bug in newforms where
limit_choices_tois not respected by the ForeignKey formfield method. The admin works because it is currently using oldforms.
