Question

I have simply model class:

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)

I want to set attribute title unmodifiable in django admin. What should I do to set this?

Answer 1

Add the field name to readonly_fields of that model’s ModelAdmin class. According to the documentation:

By default the admin shows all fields as editable. Any fields in this option (which should be a list or tuple) will display its data as-is and non-editable.

In your situation this looks like:

readonly_fields = ("title",)
