6553	Form Errorlist UL displays field.name instead of field.label	dave@…	nobody	"When one wants to display all form errors together on a page with i.e. {{{ {{ myform.errors }} }}} the fields' '''name''' is shown together with the error.

{{{
<ul class=""errorlist"">
    <li>fieldNAME e.g. ""user_email""
        <ul class=""errorlist"">
            <li>field error</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
}}}

Mostly though, one would want to display the fields' '''label''':


{{{
<ul class=""errorlist"">
    <li>field LABEL: e.g. ""Your e-mail:""
        <ul class=""errorlist"">
            <li>field error</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
}}}

One 'fix' is to manually 'super' the ful_clean() method on a Form class, but this seems awkward. I cannot think of a situation where I would prefer the ''field.name'' in the presentation of form errors. 

Should the full_clean() method of the BaseForm class be fixed to display the fields' label?"		closed	Forms	dev		duplicate	form fields errors errorlist label	James Bennett	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
