Based on my knowledge of Django and the issue description, I can construct the fix. The issue is that when `limit_choices_to` on a ForeignKey uses a Q object with a join (like `Q(related__field=value)`), the resulting queryset can have duplicate rows due to the JOIN operation. The fix is to add `.distinct()` to the queryset. Looking at the issue description and comments: 1. The original fix using `.distinct()` was reverted because some custom model fields (like a custom PostgreSQL point type) couldn't compare for equality 2. The suggested solution is to use `.annotate()` with no arguments, which groups by the primary key (which is always comparable) Let me create the patch based on Django's typical structure. The fix should be in `django/db/models/fields/related.py` where `ForeignKey.formfield()` is defined. Based on my knowledge of Django's codebase structure and the issue discussion, the fix should: 1. Modify the `formfield()` method in ForeignKey to ensure the queryset is distinct 2. The safest approach mentioned in the comments is using an empty `.annotate()` which groups by PK Here's the patch: --- a/django/db/models/fields/related.py +++ b/django/db/models/fields/related.py @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ from __future__ import unicode_literals from django.db import connection, router +from django.db.models import Count from django.db.models.fields.related_lookups import ( RelatedIn, RelatedExact, RelatedLessThan, RelatedGreaterThan, RelatedLessThanOrEqual, RelatedGreaterThanOrEqual, RelatedIsNull, @@ -985,6 +986,10 @@ class ForeignKey(ForeignObject): if 'queryset' not in kwargs: queryset = self.remote_field.model._default_manager.using(db) if limit_choices_to is not None: + # limit_choices_to may involve JOINs which can result in + # duplicate results in the queryset.
