Description (last modified by )
The following code works
class LoginForm(AuthenticationForm): """ adds helptext to authentication """ def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(LoginForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['username'].help_text = _("Enter your E-Mail address") self.fields['password'].help_text = _("Enter your password")
However, from this documentation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/forms/modelforms/#modelforms-overriding-default-fields I would have guessed that I could simply specify those elements with a MetaClass. But that did not work.
Is that a bug or just something I'm not aware of?
