I frequently use the `verbose_name` attribute of a model field to control
how the field appears in the Django Admin and Browsable API. However, I
have encounter a single situation where it does not work. Here is a partial
listing of my model code:
from django.db import models
class TimeFramedModel(models.Model):
when_started = models.DateTimeField(null=False, blank=False,
verbose_name='started', db_index=True)
when_ended = models.DateTimeField( null=False, blank=False, verbose_name
='ended')
class Meta:
abstract = True
# etc.
But, in the DRF Browable API, I see this for the entry fields when the
model details are displayed:
[image: Browsable API snapshot.jpg]
Notice that the `when_ended` field correctly appears as "Ended", but the
`when_started` field appears as "When started", not "Started".
This behavior does not happen in the Django Admin views — the fields
correctly appear as "Started" and "Ended".
Could this possibly be a bug in the Browsable API code, or am I
doing something wrong? The only difference in this situation from other
situations that work correctly is that the field is also explicitly indexed.
