You can already replace and tweak the fields in a way similar to what you are
proposing. For example, you can create a Form or ModelForm, and in the
__init__() you can do:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['title'] = models.Charfield(max_length=30, required=False)
Thanks, yes, I can replace the entire field but I can't tweak its
properties. I.e. I can do exactly what I was doing before, in __init__,
like this:
class DocumentForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['title'] =
models.Document._meta.get_field('title').formfield(required=False)
But that's even longer. I'm trying to propose a simple way to tweak
certain properties of a field after it's created, without replacing the
field, in a way that meets my requirements as described in the previous
email and that's pythonic and simple and likely to be accepted by Django.
Cheers, Chris.
