Django 5.1 has added support for referencing related fields directly from
the list_display/fieldsets option on the
django.contrib.admin.options.ModelAdmin class (#10743).
However, when referencing this field, the label generated for this field
is using the attribute name instead of the verbose_name defined on that
field.
Using the verbose_name would make much more sense and would be a great
addition.
Example:
{{{
# books/models.py
from django.db import models
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(verbose_name="Name of the author")
class Book(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(to=Author, on_delete=models.PROTECT)
# books/admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Book
@admin.register(Book)
class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ("author__name",)
}}}
The above code would display on the change_list page: "Author name"
instead of the verbose_name defined at the `author.name` field.
The same applies to fieldsets used on the change page.
