column_editable_list doesn't support SelectField

Here is my code for user model

class UserView(ModelView):
    column_editable_list = ('username', 'email', 'status')

    form_overrides = dict(
        status=SelectField
    )
    form_args = dict(
        status=dict(
            choices=[
                ('ACTIVE', 'ACTIVE'),
                ('DELETED', 'DELETED'),
                ('BLOCKED', 'BLOCKED')
            ]
        )
    )

On removing ‘status’ from column_editable_list, it works fine (for username and email), otherwise we get Exception: Unsupported field type: <class 'wtforms.fields.core.SelectField'>

how do I solve this?

@subhamagr Sorry, I tried to use Select2Field, avoid ‘Unsupported field type’, but failed to set choices. But for me, I use peewee, give choices in the model class:

JobStatus = (('Pending', 'Pending'),
               ('Running', 'Running'),
               ('Done', 'Done'),
               ('Failed', 'Failed'))

class Job(db.Model):
    session = CharField()
    status = CharField(default='Pending', choices=JobStatus)

Then override the XEditableWidget to support peewee’s SelectChoicesField:

from flask_admin.model.widgets import XEditableWidget
class MyFixedWidget(XEditableWidget):
    def get_kwargs(self, subfield, kwargs):
        if subfield.type == 'SelectChoicesField':
            kwargs['data-type'] = 'select'
            choices = [{'value': x, 'text': y} for x, y in subfield.choices]

            # prepend a blank field to choices if allow_blank = True
            if getattr(subfield, 'allow_blank', False):
                choices.insert(0, {'value': '__None', 'text': ''})

            # json.dumps fixes issue with unicode strings not loading correctly
            kwargs['data-source'] = json.dumps(choices)
            return kwargs
        else:
            return super().get_kwargs(subfield, kwargs)

Finally in my admin view, use my fixed widget to scaffold list view:

class JobView(ModelView):
    # fix SelectChoiceField in inline edit form.
    def get_list_form(self):
        return self.scaffold_list_form(widget=MyFixedWidget())

The way to override the list view field, see the document: http://flask-admin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/mod_model/?highlight=column_exclude_list#flask_admin.model.BaseModelView.get_list_form

If this can’t help you, we can discuss further.
