How can I disable a model field in a django form
- by jammon
I have a model like this:
class MyModel(models.Model):
REGULAR = 1
PREMIUM = 2
STATUS_CHOICES = ((REGULAR, "regular"), (PREMIUM, "premium"))
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
status = models.IntegerField(choices = STATUS_CHOICES, default = REGULAR)
class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = models.MyModel
In a view I initialize one field and try to make it non-editable:
myform = MyForm(initial = {'status': requested_status})
myform.fields['status'].editable = False
But the user can still change that field.
What's the real way to accomplish what I'm after?
