Change Django ModelChoiceField to show users’ full names rather than usernames

by

You can setup a custom ModelChoiceField that will return whatever label you’d like.

Place something like this within a fields.py or wherever applicable.

class UserModelChoiceField(ModelChoiceField):
    def label_from_instance(self, obj):
         return obj.get_full_name()

Then when creating your form, simply use that field

 UserModelChoiceField(queryset=User.objects.filter(is_staff=False), required = False)
