Changeform tabs

Django Unfold provides the ability to enhance your changeform views with custom tab navigation. This powerful feature allows you to create an organized and intuitive interface by adding multiple tabs that can link to various registered admin models or custom views. The tab navigation system is highly configurable and can be customized to match your specific administrative needs. All configuration settings are managed through the UNFOLD dictionary under TABS key in your project's settings.py file, making it easy to maintain and update your tab structure as your application evolves.

The changeform tab navigation uses the same configuration structure as changelist tabs, with one key difference: in the models section, each model must be specified as a dictionary with detail set to True to enable tabs on the changeform view.
