forms - Django problem: problem with choice fields -

i seem have problem in django when looking field has choice parameter. not field name instead number odd reason.

my forms.py:

from django import forms  contract_type_choices = (                  (1, 'annual'),                  (2, 'ad-hoc'),                  )  contract_status_choices = (   (1, 'active'),   (2, 'in-active'),   )  class contractform(forms.modelform):   contract_type = forms.choicefield(choices=contract_type_choices)    contract_status = forms.choicefield(choices=contract_status_choices)     class meta:     model = contract 

in template. have following

{% contracts in contracts_list %}   {{contracts.client_contract_number}}<br/>   {{contracts.contract_type}}<br/>   {{contracts.contract_status}}<br/> {% endfor %} 

they return value. contact_type , contract_status returns numbers. not make return numbers names. how do this?

model fields take choices kwarg automagically get_field_name_display method. example, should put in template:

{{ contracts.get_contract_type_display }} {{ contracts.get_contract_status_display }} 

see documentation.

good luck, justin
