Add help text in Django model forms

To add help text in Django model forms, follow these steps:

  1. Define the model field in your model class, and provide a help_text attribute with the desired help text.
from django.db import models

class MyModel(models.Model):
    my_field = models.CharField(max_length=100, help_text="This is the help text.")
  1. Create a form class that inherits from django.forms.ModelForm or django.forms.Form.
from django import forms
from .models import MyModel

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = "__all__"
  1. In your template, render the form using the {{ form }} template variable.
<form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
  1. (Optional) You can also display the help text next to the form field by iterating over the form's fields and using the {{ field.help_text }} template variable.
<form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {% for field in form %}
        {{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }}
        <small>{{ field.help_text }}</small>
    {% endfor %}
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

By following these steps, you can add help text to your Django model forms.
