How to hide some input field in Django admin panel?

To hide an input field in the Django admin panel, you can customize the admin interface by overriding the default form for the model in question. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Create or locate the admin.py file in your Django app (if it doesn't exist, create one).
  2. Import the necessary modules:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import YourModel

  1. Create a new class that inherits from admin.ModelAdmin and defines the custom form:
class YourModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    exclude = ('field_name_to_hide',)

Replace 'field_name_to_hide' with the actual name of the field you want to hide.

  1. Register the model with the admin site, using the custom admin class:

admin.site.register(YourModel, YourModelAdmin)

Make sure to replace YourModel with the name of your actual model.

By specifying the exclude attribute in the YourModelAdmin class, you are excluding the specified field from being displayed in the admin interface. This will effectively hide the input field for that field in the Django admin panel.

Remember to restart your Django server to see the changes take effect.
