Custom admin templates do not display help text about omni-forms HOT 4 CLOSED

I already commited a fix for this in my local fork, but I was also thinking about using the Model values of help_text (and possibly other such as default, required and so on) to be the default (and by that I mean initial) values when adding that field to OmniForm.

Let me know what you think about it - as far as I know not doing that could be done on purpose.

Hi Pawel. Sorry but I'm not sure I completely understand. Is there any chance you could rephrase please?

Sorry about that, I see how what I wrote can be confusing.

The problem menton here will be definitely solved by #9, but while fixing it I found another thing that I think is missing and wanted to note it somewhere (in retrospect maybe here wasn't the best place for that ; ).

What I meant was that when adding a field to a OmniForm we are given an opportunity to set field's 'options' such as 'help_text', 'required' and so on, but the initial/default values for them aren't taken from the field initialization.
For example when adding username field to User model OmiForm, I think it would be great to see help_text filled with Django's default 'Required. 150 characters or fewer. Letters, digits and @/./+/-/_ only.' that could be then edited. The same could be done to other mirrored field options.

Aha, now I follow. Yes that's not a bad idea at all. Is definitely a different feature so not something for this ticket but thanks for bringing it up
