To limit the selections available within the list, additional query parameters can be passed as the `query_params` dictionary. For example, to show only devices with an "active" status:

```
In this example, `accessor` refers to the `region_id` field on the `Site` model, and `field_name` refers to form field name of the `Region` model.
### MultiObjectVar
Similar to `ObjectVar`, but allows for the selection of multiple objects.
