setting help_text for each choice in a RadioSelect

Question

I can set the help_text attribute on any form field, but is it possible to set help_text on the choices used for a RadioSelect()?

I\'d looking for a clean way to show so

Answer 1

Assuming you're using RadioSelect as a widget for forms.ChoiceField, you can do something like:

choices = (('1', 'First help_text here'),
           ('2', 'Second help_text here'),
           ('3', 'Third help_text here'),
          )

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    ...
    choice = forms.ChoiceField(widget = RadioSelect, choices = choices)

This isn't a strict use of help_text but it should get the job done in most cases.
