Re: Custom field names in ModelForm

Thanks for the reply Rajneesh, but I'm looking for a more scalable option.

(Ideally I would like to write a wrapper of some kind which does the task regardless of which Model is it)

My use case is that I'm using django-piston for building a REST API, which I tweaked to give me what I wanted (http://rockerhome.wordpress.com/2012/05/06/hacking-django-piston/)

Since I'm exposing different field names to the external world as mentioned in my post, I want to validate those while still continuing to use the django Forms/ModelForms for validation of submitted data for data updation. It has to work for partial updates too.

I don't know if I was able to explain myself.

Let me know.

Is there a way to customize the field name (not just label) while creating a ModelForm?

Override the change_form template for the concerned model and put the label for the field
in whatever way you like. Check out the django-templates documentation to know how to
do this.
