I have my code set up as follows:
models.py
class Category(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class Product(models.Model):
category = models.ForeignKey(Category)
forms.py
class ProductForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Product
fields = ('category',)
widgets = {
#'category' : forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder' : 'Select the category'}),
}
Basically, right now, without the widgets part, I get -------- as the placeholder for this field. However, I want to get 'Select the category', how can I do this? Thanks!
You can set custom placeholder using empty_label field:
class ProductForm(forms.ModelForm):
category = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Category.objects.all(), empty_label='Select the category')
class Meta:
model = Product
