Question

I have a property that is an acronym, say, FOO, that I want to display in the admin as FOO. It displays as Foo. Can I make it display as FOO?

Answer 1

Yes – You can override the admin template, and apply the {{..|upper}} filter.

Overriding admin templates can be found here and here

Another way would be:

class MyClassAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('upper_case_foo','somethingelse')

    def upper_case_foo(self, obj):
        return ("%s"%(obj.foo)).upper()
    upper_case_foo.short_description = 'FOO'
