Removing help_text from Django UserCreateForm

Question

Probably a poor question, but I\'m using Django\'s UserCreationForm (slightly modified to include email), and I would like to remove the help_text that Django automatically

Answer 1

Another, cleaner option is to use help_texts dictionary in class Meta. Example:

class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
    ...
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ("username", "email", "password1", "password2")
        help_texts = {
            'username': None,
            'email': None,
        }

More info in here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-default-fields

Works perfect for username and email, but doesn't work for password2. No idea why.
