How do I tie a choices option in a django model class to a function

I have this model with an outside function:

def dtChoices(self):
    language = dbModels.objects.filter(pk=self.dbTable.dbSchema.dbModel).values_list('DbType__DbType', flat=True)
    enumerations = []
    datatypes = RefDatatype.objects.values_list('pk', language).all()
    for dt in datatypes:
        enumerations.append((dt[0],dt[1]))
    return enumerations

class dbColumn(models.Model):
    ColumnName = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    dbTable = models.ForeignKey(dbTable, related_name='column')
    Nullable = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    DataType = models.IntegerField(choices=dtChoices(self=self))
    DataLength = models.IntegerField(null=True, default=255)
    DataPrecision = models.IntegerField(default=0, null=True)

The hierarchy goes dbColumn->dbTable

in forms, admin, and DRF, I have to select the dbTable. Without knowing that first of all, I need to insatiate a dbColumn field, and select from a list, based on the list generated from the output. the output requires a parameter from the parent table which is linked by dbTable field

How do I get what I need from the choices for the dbColumn field?

self is not accessible where you are using. You need to use Django Forms and customize the choices for the form field based on selected dbTable
