-------------------------------+--------------------
Django 1.6 onwards, `BoundField.label_tag` now includes form's
`label_suffix`.
The docs mention that ''"You can also customize the `label_suffix` on a
per-field basis using the new `label_suffix` parameter on
`label_tag()`"''.
In order to customize this on a per-field basis, you'd use `{{
field|label_tag:"=" }}` from templates, where `label_tag` is a custom
template filter which would return `field.label_tag(label_suffix='=')` for
this example.
Since this is not an attribute stored by each field, you can only override
it if you are manually rendering fields. This is not convenient if you are
using other shortcuts such as `{{ form.as_p }}` — there's no way you can
override the `label_suffix` on a per-field basis in that scenario.
I'd suggest to store `label_suffix` for each field, so it could be set
when you instantiate the field as part of a form. `BoundField.label_tag`
would then be able to be properly customized on a per-field basis. It
would use:
1. `label_suffix` from the keyword arguments, specified at run-time. If
this is `None`,
2. `self.label_suffix`, defined when adding the field to a form. If this
is `None`,
3. `self.form.label_suffix`, defined when instantiating the form.
