Add `help_text` to Django Admin field
I am trying to display an image while editing a user in the admin panel, but I cannot figure out how to add the help text.
I am using this Django Admin Show Image from Imagefield which works great.
However, the attribute short_description
only names the image and help_text
doesn't seem to add text below it.
How to add help_text
to this field, for example, in normal model fields?
EDIT:
I would like to have help_text
in the image, like the password field in this screenshot:

Use a custom form if you don't want to change the model:
from django import forms
class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['image'].help_text = 'My help text'
class Meta:
model = MyModel
exclude = ()
@admin.register(MyModel)
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = MyForm
# ...
