[Django]-Changing max_length on a CharField for a ModelForm

by

3👍

✅

You can create a ModelForm, and override the value for the max_length=… parameter [Django-doc]:

class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    text_field01 = forms.CharField(max_length=25)

    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = '__all__'

The max_length you define in the ModelForm can only be less than or equal to the one in the Model itself, since validation in the model has to succeed as well.
