Re: How to add fields to an existing model dynamically? Also how to modify existing field of a model dynamically?

you can use a technique from the zope world known as Annotations:
http://davidemoro.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/kotti-cms-annotations-store-arbitrary-data.html
which basically means that you store additional data in a json field

have a look at:
https://github.com/octobot-dev/pulpo-forms-django
https://github.com/MarkusH/django-dynamic-forms
or https://wagtail.io/

If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left,
you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If
you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.

1) Don't drive species to extinction

2) Don't destroy a habitat that species rely on.

3) Don't change the climate in ways that will result in the above.
