There are in fact several attributes and methods missing from that section about BoundField... value(), css_classes(), etc. There's also no formal definition of BoundField in the docs.

I'd like to see a reference on BoundField added to ref/forms/fields, and then link to that from the topics/forms docs. That'd be better than trying to shoehorn a bunch more material into a topic guide which isn't really about BoundField anyway.

Moreover, the change to the example suggested in the description completely changes the functionality of the example. You'd no longer be rendering a form, you'd be displaying the values. If you were going to illustrate the use of {{ field.value }} in the template there are better ways to go about it.
