The following code works
{{{
class LoginForm(AuthenticationForm):
"""
adds helptext to authentication
"""
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(LoginForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['username'].help_text = _("Enter your E-Mail address")
self.fields['password'].help_text = _("Enter your password")
}}}
However, from this documentation
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/forms/modelforms
/#modelforms-overriding-default-fields] I would have guessed that I could
simply specify those elements with a MetaClass. But that did not work.
Is that a bug or just something I'm not aware of?
