Common Mistakes

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using lists where tuples are expected or vice versa.

Forgetting the comma in single-item tuples.

Both list_filter and ordering accept tuples or lists. Here, tuples are used for clarity.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to customize the admin form with readonly fields and fieldsets.

Django

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Profile

@admin.register(Profile)
class ProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    readonly_fields = [1]
    fieldsets = (
        (None, {'fields': [2]),
        ('Advanced options', {'classes': ('collapse',), 'fields': [3]),
    )

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A('user',)

B('bio', 'location')

C('created_at', 'updated_at')

D['user']

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing lists and tuples inconsistently.

Forgetting to wrap field names in a list or tuple inside fieldsets.

readonly_fields can be a list or tuple; here a list is used. fieldsets groups fields; the first group has 'bio' and 'location', the second has 'created_at' and 'updated_at' with collapse style.
