To override a parent model’s attribute with Python Django,. we can create a child model that inherits from the parent.
For instance, we write
class AbstractPlace(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
rating = models.DecimalField()
class Meta:
abstract = True
class Place(AbstractPlace):
pass
class LongNamedRestaurant(AbstractPlace):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
food_type = models.CharField(max_length=25)
to create the AbstractPlace model which has some fields shared between Place and LongNamedRestaurant.
Then in LongNamedRestaurant, we override the name field from AbstractPlace by setting name to a models.CharField(max_length=255) instead of models.CharField(max_length=20).
