I'm attempting to write a browser game using Django but I'm getting a bit stuck on how to store the settings for the game. For example, the game is tick based and I want to store the current tick.

django-smart-selects is an elegant solution that enables Django developers to have chained select inputs in their forms. But as reported by developers in its list of issues, it does not work well when used in formsets. The javascript it renders is tied to the id of the "chained field" right in the model definition.
