Answering my own question. No, there is no ready way to change help_text in
model.
The proposed solution is almost correct, just the get_form_class() function
should
be defined both in CreateViiew- and UpdateView-derived classes and be like
the
following.
def get_form_class(self):
'Make a form from a class'
model = class_by_name(self.kwargs['fmname'])
form = model_forms.modelform_factory(model)
# change help_text for fields in derived class, i.e in ReSt class
and
# derived from it
class_list = [model]
class_list.extend(model._meta.get_parent_list())
for mod in class_list:
opts = mod._meta
if hasattr(opts, 'help_texts'):
for key, value in opts.help_texts.iteritems():
form.base_fields[key].help_text = value
return form
return form
The stuff added for Meta help_texts to work is between empty lines.
