MyModel._meta.get_field_by_name('fieldname')[0].help_text
Although I must say that the examples you give look like they would be
better as verbose_name, rather than help_text.
Thanks; that's a life saver :)
I don't intend to use these names as column names but as content of a column,
used for debugging as much as anything else. I'm new to Django, so I had not
thought of verbose name. I really had not anticipated using the help_text at
all when I defined my models, but a situation came up where I needed to do a
Name --- value ---- description type of table.
is there an advantage of verbosename over helptext in my scenario?
