Django how to modify checkbox labels for MultipleChoiceField?

Question

How do I modify (i.e. add classes or change the id) the labels for the checkboxes in a MultipleChoiceField?

In my form I have this MultipleChoiceField

    questions = forms.MultipleChoiceField(
        required=False,
        label='',
        widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
        choices=CHOICES,
    )

and when I use the form in my template the checkboxes get rendered with individual labels around them like this.

<label for="id_questions_0">
    <input type="checkbox" name="questions" value="0">
    "the question"
</label>

How do I edit the label so that I can add a class to it and change other attributes of the label?

Answer 1

You can use Widget.attrs, specifically:

questions = forms.MultipleChoiceField(
    required=False,
    label='',
    widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple(attrs={'class': 'my-class'}),
    choices=CHOICES,
)

This would apply my-class to the radio select. If you still need to add class to the label as rendered, you'll need to customize forms.RadioSelect.
