✅

You really should do this in the declaration of your ExampleForm class. I assume the class looks something like this 

from your_app.models import ExampleModel
from django.forms import ModelForm

class ExampleForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = ExampleModel

You just need to declare the field on the form. Something like –

class ExampleForm(ModelForm)
    is_ok = forms.BooleanField()
    class Meta:
        model = ExampleModel

The form class will now handle the creation of the input element for the is_ok field, just as it does for all the other fields, but it will override the settings on the Model – it won’t be disabled any more (see the docs for more info).
