Thanks everyone for the replies. I was looking for a way that works in a generic way. I found one way at http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/937/ that works for any model. In case anyone is interested, here is how I did it- class StudentAdmin(ReadOnlyAdminFields, admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('first', 'last', 'roll') fields = ['first', 'last', 'roll'] readonly = ('roll',) It does show up in the "add page", but as a non-editable field. I also overrode the save method to populate roll in case it wasn't populated.
