Overriding Help Text in Django

To override the help text in Django, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the field for which you want to override the help text.
  2. Locate the form or model where the field is defined.
  3. 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.
