✅

You should create a ModelForm for this model, and add the field there. It could look like this:

from django import forms

from models import MyModel

class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    extra_file = forms.FileField()

    class Meta:
        model = MyModel

Then, you can make the ModelAdmin to use this form. If you saved MyModelForm in yourapp/forms.py, your ModelAdmin would look like this:

from django.contrib import admin

from models import MyModel
from forms import MyModelForm

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = MyModelForm
admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
