I propose that queryset.values() should work like queryset.annotate() where you can use kwargs to name the resulting key. My primary use case is when I am building custom JSON endpoints and I want to expose a related field to the front end, I'd like to rename the key to something shorter (but still contextually descriptive)


Example:

{{{#!python
MyModel.objects.values('slug', field='related__field')
# [{'slug': 'first-slug', 'field': 'related field data'}]
}}}
