how to limit the foreignkey dropdown with constraints?

I have a database which keeps track of interaction between two different teams (represented in the admin interface by two different groups). For some fields, i have a foreignkey to Users database, and i would like to limit the dropdown people to only the specific groups.

If anyone have any suggestions, it would be much appreciated!

To override the choices for a foreign key field in Django admin app, write a formfield_for_foreignkey method.

You can change the underlaying queryset for the form field: How do I filter ForeignKey choices in a Django ModelForm?
