I'm using Django-filter on my django-tables2 table, I have a custom filter that uses one search box to search all fields. SiteFilterEx, it gets all the field names and creates or queries to search each field name.
my model has the following:
class Site(models.Model):
location = models.CharField(max_length=50)
ref = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
bgp_as = models.CharField(max_length=6, verbose_name="BGP AS Number")
opening_date = models.DateField(verbose_name="Site opening date", blank=True, null=True)
tel = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
town = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
postcode = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=True, null=True)
class DeviceCircuitSubnets(models.Model):
device = models.ForeignKey(Device, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
circuit = models.ForeignKey(Circuit, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True, null=True)
subnet = models.ForeignKey(Subnet, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
active_link = models.BooleanField(default=False, verbose_name="Active Link?")
active_link_timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, blank=True, null=True)
However id like to also search against the annotated field "active_circuit" (which can be seen in the QuerySet) but when I add this to the list of fields, I get errors stating it doesn't exist. I need to somehow pass the annotated field through to the filter as a valid field to search for or something else?

class SiteFilterEx(django_filters.FilterSet):

# Use a global q_totals
q_totals = Q()
# This part will get us all possible segmantiation of the query parts and put it in the possibilities list
combinatorics = itertools.product([True, False], repeat=len(q_parts) - 1)
possibilities = []
for combination in combinatorics:
i = 0
one_such_combination = [q_parts[i]]
