Form.fields
You can access the fields of Form instance from its fields attribute:
>>> for row in f.fields.values(): print(row) ... <django.forms.fields.CharField object at 0x7ffaac632510> <django.forms.fields.URLField object at 0x7ffaac632f90> <django.forms.fields.CharField object at 0x7ffaac3aa050> >>> f.fields['name'] <django.forms.fields.CharField object at 0x7ffaac6324d0>
You can alter the field of Form instance to change the way it is presented in the form:
>>> f.as_table().split('\n')[0]
'<tr><th>Name:</th><td><input name="name" type="text" value="instance" required /></td></tr>'
>>> f.fields['name'].label = "Username"
>>> f.as_table().split('\n')[0]
'<tr><th>Username:</th><td><input name="name" type="text" value="instance" required /></td></tr>'
Beware not to alter the base_fields attribute because this modification will influence all subsequent ContactForm instances within the same Python process:
>>> f.base_fields['name'].label = "Username"
>>> another_f = CommentForm(auto_id=False)
>>> another_f.as_table().split('\n')[0]
'<tr><th>Username:</th><td><input name="name" type="text" value="class" required /></td></tr>'
