Dynamic show and hide fields in Django admin panel

Question

I have defined model in which one of the filed has definition:

REPEAT = (
    ('day', 'Daily'),
    ('week', 'Weekly'),
)

repeats = models.CharField('Repeat', default='day', max_length=5, choices=REPEAT)

Also I have defined related admin model, which is responsible to show my main model in panel.

Is possible to show and hide some fields in admin panel based on choice in repeats field? For example in scenery when user choose 'Daily', then some fields are not required and I want to hide them. I will be thankful for any advices or hints.

Yes, you can add custom JS to your admin model:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    class Media:
        js = ("my_code.js",)

STATIC_URL is appended to your filename automagically.

And your JS function, assuming jQuery, something like:

$(function(){
$('<my-selector>').change(function(){
    //do something on select change
    });
});
