title: Populate admin form from a text field in Django
body: <p>I'm trying to customize the Django admin edit page for a model representing a scholarly paper such that there is a text box that can fill in as a 'shortcut' to the actual information in the model (based on a BibTeX bibliography of it). That is, rather than tediously fill out each field in the "Publication" model, the user can simply copy/paste a BibTeX entry, click on a button, and have the relevant fields filled in automatically.</p>
  
  <p>I've managed to create a text box and button that don't represent part of the model by editing the template, but I can't figure out how to make the button do anything without leaving the page, since I can't override the view. I want it to populate the fields of the form but stay on the same page so a user can look over and edit what's parsed.</p>
  
  <p>How would I go about making a button that fills out a form in the Django admin dynamically?</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if there is a super easy solution to this--my team and I are new to Django!</p>
