Question

I have a form that inherits from 2 other forms. In my form, I want to change the label of a field that was defined in one of the parent forms. Does anyone know how this can be done?

I’m trying to do it in my __init__, but it throws an error saying that ”RegistrationFormTOS’ object has no attribute ’email”. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks.

Here is my form code:

from django import forms from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ from registration.forms import RegistrationFormUniqueEmail from registration.forms import RegistrationFormTermsOfService  attrs_dict = { 'class': 'required' }  class RegistrationFormTOS(RegistrationFormUniqueEmail, RegistrationFormTermsOfService):     '''     Subclass of ``RegistrationForm`` which adds a required checkbox     for agreeing to a site's Terms of Service.      '''     email2 = forms.EmailField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=dict(attrs_dict, maxlength=75)), label=_(u'verify email address'))      def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):         self.email.label = 'New Email Label'         super(RegistrationFormTOS, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)      def clean_email2(self):         '''         Verifiy that the values entered into the two email fields         match.          '''         if 'email' in self.cleaned_data and 'email2' in self.cleaned_data:             if self.cleaned_data['email'] != self.cleaned_data['email2']:                 raise forms.ValidationError(_(u'You must type the same email each time'))         return self.cleaned_data

You should use:

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):     super(RegistrationFormTOS, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)     self.fields['email'].label = 'New Email Label' 

Note first you should use the super call.
