Question

I have a workflow for a model in the Django admin that is very similar to the users’ workflow. First, I have a form with basic fields and then, a second form with the rest of the data.

It’s the same workflow as auth.user

I need to remove "save and continue" and "save and add another" buttons to prevent the user breakoing the workflow.

I have tried to add it as extra_context:

extra_context = {
  'show_save_and_add_another': False,
  'show_save_and_continue': False
}

and pass it through ModelAdmin.add_view or ModelAdmin.change_view but it doesn’t work.

This is only for one model, so I don’t want to remove from submit_line.html

Any clue or alternative way?

Thanks in advance

Beside its (a bit awkward) hacking style, you could aslo override the template tag directly.
Normally overriding template is more recommended.

# put this in some app such as customize/templatetags/admin_modify.py and place the app
# before the 'django.contrib.admin' in the INSTALLED_APPS in settings

from django.contrib.admin.templatetags.admin_modify import *
from django.contrib.admin.templatetags.admin_modify import submit_row as original_submit_row
# or 
# original_submit_row = submit_row

@register.inclusion_tag('admin/submit_line.html', takes_context=True)
def submit_row(context):
    ctx = original_submit_row(context)
    ctx.update({
        'show_save_and_add_another': context.get('show_save_and_add_another', ctx['show_save_and_add_another']),
        'show_save_and_continue': context.get('show_save_and_continue', ctx['show_save_and_continue'])
        })                                                                  
    return ctx
