Question

i have a django modelform that some of it’s fields are required. i’m using {{ form.as_p }} and i’m not accessing the fields individually.

so how can i add a star (*) for that required fields in the form ?

Answer 1

If you will not be accessing the fields individually (such as using {{ form.as_p }}), then you can add a property to your ModelForm:

class FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
    required_css_class = 'required'

That will define all fields that are required as having the ‘required’ class

Then you can add the asterisk using CSS :

<style type="text/css">
    .required:after { content: '*'; }
</style>
