Question

In my model I have;

title = models.CharField(verbose_name="eBay Listing Title",max_length=56)

Using a ModelForm the label shows as “EBay Listing Title” (capital E). I’m using

{{ field.label_tag }} 

on the form template (in a loop) to display the labels.

How can I get the label to show correctly with a lowercase first letter?

You can override the label in the form

for example:

class YourForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(YourForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['title'].label = "eBay Listing Title"

    class Meta:
        model = YourModel
