Description
When one wants to display all form errors together on a page with i.e. {{ myform.errors }}
the fields' name is shown together with the error.
<ul class="errorlist"> <li>fieldNAME e.g. "user_email" <ul class="errorlist"> <li>field error</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
Mostly though, one would want to display the fields' label:
<ul class="errorlist"> <li>field LABEL: e.g. "Your e-mail:" <ul class="errorlist"> <li>field error</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
One 'fix' is to manually 'super' the ful_clean() method on a Form class, but this seems awkward. I cannot think of a situation where I would prefer the field.name in the presentation of form errors.
Should the full_clean() method of the BaseForm class be fixed to display the fields' label?
