Overriding Help Text in Django
To override the help text in Django, you can follow these steps:
- Identify the field for which you want to override the help text.
- Locate the form or model where the field is defined.
- Override the
help_text
attribute of the field with your desired text.
Here's an example of how you can override the help text in Django:
from django import forms
class MyForm(forms.Form):
my_field = forms.CharField(help_text='This is the original help text.')
def __init__(self, args, *kwargs):
super().__init__(args, *kwargs)
self.fields['my_field'].help_text = 'This is the overridden help text.'
In the example above, we have a form called MyForm
with a field called my_field
. Initially, the field has a default help text. However, in the __init__
method of the form, we override the help_text
attribute of the my_field
field with our desired text.
By following these steps, you can override the help text for any field in Django.
