I have spent the last few days trying to get this to work (reading numerous sources, including docs) and nothing seems to be working.
Goal
Pass custom attribute to custom model field and eventually pass that off to a custom widget. :)
Problem
My model is complaining about
bazattribute:Where have I gone wrong?
Notes
Original code found here.
I have used other code examples for inspiration and learning purposes, but the above code is closely related a project I am working on.
