Re: Custom attributes in Django

Hi thanks for quick response.

I was thinking more about real custom attributes. Be able to define a
string, or choice filed from admin. And after all create query and/or
render form on it.
Application that we are working at requires different attributes on
objects from client to client.
We were looking for something like alex's
http://github.com/alex/django-taggit, but perfect situation will be a
tag with a type(or choice)

thanks
