Right of the bat, I'd like to say that I'm not sure if this is a proper
bug or not. It felt like a bug, and it took some time to figure out what
the issue was.
Here's a minimal example example:
{{{
class ExampleForm(forms.ModelForm):
name = forms.CharField()
class Meta:
model = ExampleModel
fields = ('name', )
labels = {
'name': 'Test Label',
}
}}}
`ExampleForm().fields['name'].label` is None because `label` is not passed
into the overriding field declaration. Ideally, the lack of a field
attribute should result in label declared in `Meta.labels` being used
instead of prettifying it using `capfirst`. Alternatively, this can be
added to the documentation.
