Description

Since Django 1.2 model forms can override widgets by specifying 'widgets' attribute in Meta, similar to 'fields' or 'exclude'. The modelform_factory doesn't accept widgets, so the only way to specify it is by defining a new parent ModelForm with Meta and giving it as 'form' argument. This is more complex than it needs to be.

The fix is to add new keyword argument widgets=None and add:

if widgets is not None:
        attrs['widgets'] = widgets

right after similar if for 'exclude'. This will add 'widgets' attribute to dynamically created Meta.

Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Accepted

Three points:

  • This is a new feature, so it can't be on the 1.3 milestone
  • Please use unified diffs (i.e., the format generated by svn diff), rather than context diffs
  • Any patch for a new feature requires tests.

This patch should probably also update the docs(tring) if/when #10239 is applied?
