Empty Label ChoiceField Django

Question

How do you make ChoiceField\'s label behave like ModelChoiceField? Is there a way to set an empty_label, or at least show a blank fiel

Answer 1

You can try this (assuming your choices are tuples):

blank_choice = (('', '---------'),)
...
color = forms.ChoiceField(choices=blank_choice + COLORS)
year = forms.ChoiceField(choices=blank_choice + YEAR_CHOICES)

Also, I can't tell from your code whether this is a form or a ModelForm, but it it's the latter, no need to redefine the form field here (you can include the choices=COLORS and choices=YEAR_CHOICES directly in the model field.

Hope this helps.
