Readonly text field in Flask-Admin ModelView
If you're talking about Flask-Admin with SQLAlchemy Models, and you're declaring a view by inheriting from sqlamodel.ModelView, you can just add this to your class definition:
class MyModelView(BaseModelView): column_list = ('name', 'last_name', 'email') form_widget_args = { 'email':{ 'disabled':True } }
I don't have enough reputation to comment on @thkang's answer, which is very close to what worked for me. The disabled attribute excludes the field from the POST data, but using readonly had the desired effect.
from wtforms.fields import TextFieldclass ReadonlyTextField(TextField): def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs): kwargs.setdefault('readonly', True) return super(ReadonlyTextField, self).__call__(*args, **kwargs)
I got weird errors when I tried to use disabled for text fields, so I used readonly instead:
class MyModelView(BaseModelView): column_list = ('name', 'last_name', 'email') form_widget_args = { 'email':{ 'readonly':True } }
