Description
Sometimes we need exclude fields on admin (Which have null and blank is True). See ticket(#6755), the Model Inheritance in admin having a field called user_ptr
Here the problem is solved by
Member._meta.get_field('user_ptr').blank = True
But the field still in admin.
So there is a need for exclude fields in admin.Model

This is a rare case and will ultimately be fixed when model inheritance is working on the admin. Excluding fields is very simple. Normally you create your own form and use the
ModelForm
's ability to exclude in the
Meta
class (this is all documented between admin.txt and newforms.txt in the newforms-admin branch docs). Secondly, perhaps you didn't read the docs well enough to understand that
blank
will never not show the field. It simply makes it not required.
editable
would be what you are looking for. This is an invalid report and I am closing.
