Can i add help text in django model fields

Question

I have a Student detail page where I have all the student data shown in a log nested format.

Now in the form I know I can add a help text. But now my manager wants that when we show the detail page, there should be help on hovering over each field.

Now I am confused where should I enter 50-100 words help text for each table in 5-6 tables

This is how I used help_text in the forms:

student_number = forms.CharField(         required=False, max_length=64, label='Student Number',         help_text='Unique identifier for the student ') 

Answer 1

Yes you can! Just like your form, you can add help_text to your model fields.

Answer 2

When using model forms you can add labels and help_texts to fields generated by the model. see docs

class PupilForm(forms.ModelForm):    class Meta:     model = Pupil      fields = ['student_number',]     labels = {'student_number': "Student Number",}     help_texts = {'student_number': "Unique identifier for the student",}
