Features

Auto-registration

• Registers all concrete models in the selected app(s)
• Skips models whose names contain configured exclusion terms (e.g. Historical)
• Supports explicit apps, multiple apps, or full auto-discovery

Smart changelist defaults

• list_display built from model fields, with exclusions from DEFAULT_EXCLUDED_TERMS
• Relation fields are displayed with clickable links via linkify()
• GenericForeignKeys displayed via linkify_gfk()
• Many-to-many fields rendered as comma-separated, linkified items with clipping (see below)
• Common filters auto-added for booleans, datetimes, and chars
• Properties on the model are appended if safe and unique
• Created/updated timestamp fields moved to end
• Optional reordering to ensure the first column is not a linkify field

Performance and UX defaults

• Uses TimeLimitedPaginator to avoid slow count queries
• show_full_result_count = False to prevent expensive COUNT(*)
• list_select_related = True by default to reduce N+1 queries

Polymorphic model support

• Detects django-polymorphic and uses:
• PolymorphicParentListAdmin for parent models (with discovered children)
• PolymorphicChildListAdmin for child models

CSV export action

• Built-in ExportCsvMixin adds an "Export Selected to CSV" action

Runtime customization API

• Retrieve the live ModelAdmin instance for a model and adjust:
• append_list_display, prepend_list_display, remove_list_display
• append_filter_display, add_search_fields
• update_list_select_related
• append_inline
• add_admin_method (actions and display functions)

See Usage for examples.

Many-to-many handling

• Detail view uses Django's default M2M form widget; nothing custom to learn
• Changelist shows M2M fields as a comma-separated list of related objects
• Each item links to the related object's admin change page (when registered)
• Displays up to a configurable limit (default: 10); extra items are clipped with ...
• Works with explicit through tables; the end objects are shown
