The ModelForm docs suggested that fields defined declaratively override default fields generated from the form Meta. This is conceptually wrong, especially with inheritance in mind. Meta is usually defined on the topmost ModelForm subclass, while fields can come from anywhere in the MRO, especially base classes; therefore we suggested that something defined in a base class override something from a subclass. This patch rephrases the docs around the idea that Meta is used to generate *missing* fields. Refs #8620, #19617. Thanks @mjtamlyn and @timgraham for the review. |

The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using any text file viewer. It uses ReST (reStructuredText) [1], and the Sphinx documentation system [2]. This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing. To create an HTML version of the docs: * Install Sphinx (using ``sudo pip install Sphinx`` or some other method) * In this docs/ directory, type ``make html`` (or ``make.bat html`` on Windows) at a shell prompt. The documentation in _build/html/index.html can then be viewed in a web browser. [1] http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html [2] http://sphinx-doc.org/
