It depends. If you're using the admin, or any auto-generated forms, the verbose_name will be used in place of the field name for the field labels on the form - I presume that will be more helpful for your users than the code names you have. The help_text is displayed in small grey text underneath the field. However, if you're not using the admin at all in your project, then there's no difference for you. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
