Alan, The use of "help_text" in a template is shown here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/forms/#looping-over-the-form-s-fields That is an example of how you should render a form field "manually". You may also try seeing the output of {{ form.as_p }} and then tweak it to your needs (you can use that in whatever tooltip wrapper - like bootstrap or other css frameworks).
