I am working on a page to display a users profile. I have successfully rendered an instance of the users profile, which looks as shown in the screenshot below. The thing I want to change, is to display the verbose name of the field names, rather than the actual field name. I have done some research …

I believe that you could create a ModelForm and pass that instead of your object. That would allow you to assign labels to each field with something like labels = {‘field’:‘displayName’}.
