Django - set filter field label or verbose_name

class ProductFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    class Meta:
        model = Product
        fields = ['manufacturer']

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ProductFilter, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.filters['manufacturer'].extra.update(
            {'empty_label': 'All Manufacturers'})

To set custom labels you can do it this way. Not sure if it is a new functionality.

import django_filters as filters
from models import Sale

class SaleFilter(filters.FilterSet):
    CompanyProdutID = filters.CharFilter(label='Article')
    CompanySellerID = filters.CharFilter(label='Seller')
    CompanyRegisterID = filters.CharFilter(label='Cash register')

    class Meta:
        model = Sale
        fields = ['CompanyProductID', 'CompanySellerID', 'CompanyRegisterID']

Use the filter that you want for each field.

Note:

for some reason

import django_filters as filters
filters.CharField(...)

is not working for me. I have to use it like this:

from django_filters import CharFilter
CharFilter(...)

Previous answer will duplicate the filter fields. Here is how to do it:

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
       super(SaleFilter, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
       self.filters['CompanyProductID'].label="Article"
       self.filters['CompanySellerID'].label="Seller"
       self.filters['CompanyRegisterID'].label="Cash register"
