Does django-modeltranslation overwrites hidden fields in admin change view?

[adi-]

As described on jrief/django-admin-sortable2#415 I assume that (but not sure) django-modeltranslation could overwrite hidden fields used by other apps.

The problem is when I use django-admin-sortable2 app with django-modeltranslation. In normal use django-admin-sortable2 makes order field invisible in admin change view. But, when I add django-modeltranslation admin mixin this field is shown in edit view.

Hello.

Please take a look at the source code of SortableAdminMixin, and see how it's hiding fields.

Maybe you should switch order in which you're inheriting classes?

If that doesn't help - add new test to TranslationAdminTest checking for expected fields, then try inspecting code with pdb somewhere in SortableAdminMixin or TabbedTranslationAdmin to pinpoint the issue.

Report your findings here, and we'll think how this can be resolved.

We have some docs on how to set up project for development, https://github.com/deschler/django-modeltranslation/blob/master/docs/modeltranslation/contribute.rst (may be slightly outdated, but mostly works).
