Error Render form errors with the label rather than field name

Question

I would like to list all form errors together using {{ form.errors }} in the template. This produces a list of form fields and nested lists of the errors for each field. However, the literal name of the field is used. The generated html with an error in a particular field might look like this.

<ul class="errorlist">
    <li>
        target_date_mdcy
        <ul class="errorlist">
            <li>This field is required.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

I would like use the errorlist feature, as it's nice and easy. However, I want to use the label ("Target Date", say) rather than the field name. Actually, I can't think of a case in which you would want the field name displaying for the user of a webpage. Is there way to use the rendered error list with the field label?

Hello @kartik,

There is a simple way to use the label:

{% if form.errors %}
    <ul class="user-msg error">
    {% for field in form %}
        {% for error in field.errors %}
            <li>
              {% if field != '__all__' %}
                <strong>{{ field.label }}:</strong>
              {% endif %}
              {{ error }}
            </li>
        {% endfor %}
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endif %}

hope this works!!

Thank You!!
