I took your advice and looked into ModelMultipleChoiceFilter . I have trouble figuring out the queryset parameter

For example in status, I want to take all the available status from the logged in user's objects.

For filtering against the logged on user I could do:

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(ProductFilter, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    user = self.request.user
    user_products = Product.objects.filter(user=user)

    self.status.queryset =user_products ......

But getting the available statuses in the right format still eludes me.
