Answer 1

I faced with similar problem and this is how I solved it.

I set field as hidden:

self.fields['fieldA'].widget.attrs['style'] = 'display:none;'

In template I show field value separately:

{{ form.fieldA.label_tag }}
{{ form.fieldA }}
{{ form.fieldA.value }}
{{ form.fieldA.errors }}

In case of fieldA is a select menu:

{{ form.fieldA.label_tag }}
{{ form.fieldA }}
{% for value, title in form.fields.fieldA.choices %}
    {% if value == form.fieldA.value %}
        {{ title }}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{ form.fieldA.errors }}
