Yeah, sorry about the term. Attribute is what I mean.

Yeah, except I can do that easily for a normal form. Am trying to
figure out how to do it for forms in a formset. I can add the same
attribute with the same value to all forms in a formset by doing
something like:
for form in formset.forms:
form.project_description = "Beef etc."
But of course each product has a different description.

Works great and is less filling for regular forms, and I do it all the
time. Including in my set-of-forms which is not a formset, which is
how I did it before formsets were invented. I want to do the same
thing for forms in a formset.
