In some condition we want to make fields became read-only on “view details” in Django Admin. That’s mean, for adding new records, this fields must be not in read-only mode. To solve this problems, we can use get_readonly_fields().
Here is an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | class InsuranceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = (‘id’, ’email’, ‘brand’, ‘website’) def get_readonly_fields(self, request, obj=None): if obj: return (’email’) return () |
This code will give email fields editable on “Add” pages but become read-only on “View” pages.
