Hello.. I too needed to do this. I solved so: 1. I've create a field with type SerializerMethodField()
https://github.com/Marlysson/finhis/blob/master/core/serializers.py#L42 2. I created a method that return the attribute that I would like show with other name: https://github.com/Marlysson/finhis/blob/master/core/serializers.py#L46 3. I defined a dictionary named extra_kwargs ( that add some others attributes related the fields ) , and the field's model I show them in api to send a post to it, and the method field I show in api ( in read mode ) https://github.com/Marlysson/finhis/blob/master/core/serializers.py#L 55 To me this seems a right way to solve this problem. PS: Put two attributes in fields tuple, I still think that is a redundancy.
