Remove fields from ModelForm

Question

i have a simple ModelForm:

class MyForm(ModelForm):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        d         


        

Answer 1

As described in Creating forms from models - Selecting the fields to use, there are three ways:

1. In the model, set editable=False. All forms created from the model will exclude the field.
2. Define the fields attribute in the Meta inner class to only include the fields you want.
3. Define the exclude attribute in the Meta inner class to list the fields you don't want.

So if your model has fields field1, field2, and field3 and you don't want field3, technique #2 would look like this:

class MyModelForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ('field1', 'field2')

And technique #3 would look like this:

class MyModelForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        exclude = ('field3',)
