Answer 1

Field ids should be generated automatically by django, to override other fields:

class ProductForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Product
        exclude = ('updated', 'created')

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ProductForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['name'].widget.attrs\
            .update({
                'placeholder': 'Name',
                'class': 'input-calss_name'
            })
