How can I remove the automatic colon from Django form labels?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm using Django's form rendering in my template, and each label automatically displays a colon on the webpage. I want to remove this colon. Below is the part of my template where the form is rendered:

DJANGO
<div class="form-box">
        <form method="post">
            {% csrf_token %}
            <div class="form-group">
                {{ form.first_name.label_tag }}
                {{ form.first_name }}
                
            </div>
            
            <div class="form-group">
                {{ form.last_name.label_tag }}
                {{ form.last_name }}
                
            </div>

I would like to know how to disable or remove the colon from the labels. Any guidance is appreciated!

Removing the Colon from Form Labels in Django

You can remove the colon (:) that appears after form labels in Django by setting the label_suffix parameter. There are several ways to do this:

Option 1: Set `label_suffix` when instantiating the form

In your view, when you create the form instance, you can set the label_suffix to an empty string:

PYTHON
form = YourForm(label_suffix='')

Option 2: Override `label_suffix` in your form class

You can set the label_suffix attribute in your form class definition:

PYTHON
from django import forms

class YourForm(forms.Form):
    label_suffix = ''  # Remove the colon
    # Your form fields here

Option 3: Use the `label_tag` method with a parameter

You can also specify the label_suffix directly in your template when calling label_tag:

DJANGO
{{ form.first_name.label_tag(label_suffix="") }}
{{ form.first_name }}

Option 4: Override for all forms in your project

If you want to remove the colon for all forms in your project, you can create a custom form class that all your forms inherit from:

PYTHON
class BaseForm(forms.Form):
    label_suffix = ''

class YourForm(BaseForm):
    # Your form fields here

The default label suffix in Django is a colon (:), but by setting it to an empty string with any of these methods, the colon will be removed from your form labels.
