Available options for Unfold inlines

Custom inline title

By default, each inline row's title is derived from the model's __str__ implementation. However, Unfold provides the ability to customize this title specifically for inlines by implementing a get_inline_title method on the model. This method can return a custom title that will only be used in inline contexts, allowing for more descriptive and context-specific labels.

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from unfold.admin import TabularInline


class User(models.Model):
    # fields, meta ...

    def get_inline_title(self):
        return "Custom title"


class MyInline(TabularInline):
    model = User

Hide title row

You can hide the title row for both StackedInline and TabularInline by setting the hide_title attribute to True. This feature is particularly useful when you want to create a more compact and streamlined interface. Please note that for StackedInline, the delete permission (can_delete) must be disabled to hide the title row, as the delete checkbox is contained within it.

# admin.py

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from unfold.admin import TabularInline


class MyInline(TabularInline):
    model = User
    hide_title = True

Collapsible StackedInline

Unfold enhances the StackedInline functionality by introducing a collapsible mode. When enabled, this feature allows you to display multiple records in a space-efficient manner by defaulting to a collapsed state. This is particularly useful when dealing with forms that contain numerous inline entries, as it helps maintain a clean and organized interface.

Key features of collapsible StackedInlines: - Records are collapsed by default, saving vertical space - Users can expand individual records as needed - Records containing validation errors automatically expand to highlight the issues - The collapsed state is preserved during form submission - Each record can be independently expanded or collapsed

To implement this feature, simply set the collapsible attribute to True in your StackedInline class:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from unfold.admin import StackedInline


class User(models.Model):
    inlines = [SomeInline]

class SomeInline(StackedInline):
    collapsible = True
