It depends on #6630. It would fix #3512 and #3515. All options are independent - it is no problem to accept only a subset. = error_class = * default value - django.newforms.!ErrorList * replaces error_class argument from Form.init * backward-incompatible - it breaks all forms with argument error_class * I don't really care about this change (I have never use this argument), but it is consistent with the other options = formfield_for_formfield = * default_value - lambda self, formfield: formfield * function or method (it is normalized as a function) with two arguments - options and a formfield * it should return a formfield * it is called during the construction of base fields for the form * it should be place for general customization and for javascript tricks * I want to use it for javascript calendars = html_class_for_fields_with_errors = * default_value - errors * if it is not None, this option is added as an attribute to generated html (by !BoundField.row_attrs) - only for fields with errors * backward-incompatible - it could change generated html, but it could be reverted by setting to None = html_class_for_hidden_fields_row = * default_value - hidden * if it is not None, this option is added as an attribute to generated html (by Form.hidden_fields_html_output) - only for hidden row * backward-incompatible - it could change generated html, but it could be reverted by setting to None = html_class_for_required_fields = * default_value - required * if it is not None, this option is added as an attribute to generated html (by !BoundField.row_attrs) - only for required fields * backward-incompatible - it could change generated html, but it could be reverted by setting to None = label_capitalization = * default_value - True * if it is True, first letter of labels are capitalized * it solves a problem of translators - in models first letter of verbose_name should not be capitalized, but in forms first letter should be capitalized - so translator has to translate some words twice * backward-incompatible - it could change generated html, but it could be reverted by setting to False = label_suffix = * default value - : * replaces label_suffix argument from Form.init * backward-incompatible - it breaks all forms with argument label_suffix * I don't really care about this change (I have never use this argument), but it is consistent with the other options = validation_order = * default value - None * it could be a list of field names for forms * if it is None, it changes ordering of fields in validation * it could be useful in situations where it is necessary to generate and validate forms in different order " New feature closed Forms dev Normal invalid post10 Design decision needed 1 1 1 0 0 0
