[Answered ]-Django Accesing Model Class From Field Instance

✅

I assume you mean what ModelForm this field belongs to…

From looking at django.forms.Field and the __dict__ on a CharField, it appears that the answer is “no”. You’ll have to pass the Form or Model class as necessary.

Assuming you actually do mean a Model, then you can get access to the class (but not, apparently the instance).

# This is is a model instance method:
field = self._meta.get_field_by_name('status')[0]
print field.model

Note, this uses the _meta on the model class, which is technically implementation detail. Unlikely to be going away any time soon, though.
