Manipulating the form instance attributes at runtime in your view might be
possible by modifying some internal fields, but that leads to dirty code and
not-so-clean views.
You can rather use different django forms with different field definitions
in your view. This might be the cleanest.
You can also consider creating some generator function which can return you
a django form class on the fly, depending upon the form definition
parameters provided to the generator function during runtime. Obviously you
need to be careful with this, and consider the cons coming with it.
