[Answer]-CustomField in django model getting value

✅

form["testField"] (or {{ form.testField }} in a template) will yield a BoundField (cf https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/forms/api/#django.forms.BoundField).

To access the Field object itself you need form["testField"].field (or {{ form.testField.field }} – or just {{ field.field }} if you’re iterating on the form’s bouldfields – in the template).

Also there’s a bug in your call to super(), it should be:

super(MyCustomField, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

not 

super(Models.CharField, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

And finally: the form’s fields are NOT the model’s fields. If {{ field }} is one of your form’s fields, it’s just a totally different (and unrelated) object.
