[Bug] Fields internationalization - Useless field shown + values not displayed

[Vadorequest]

I use django-modeltranslation to add fields internationalization in my models.

I basically configure the following in my models.py:

label = models.CharField(
    help_text="Displayed label",
    max_length=100,
    null=False,
    blank=False,
  )

And end up with the following fields:
label, label_fr, label_en

Jet doesn't seem to understand it very well:

It doesn't make much sense to display the generic label field, it's counter-intuitive in such case at best. Here is the field configuration:

There is no way to "hide" the field so it cannot be shown at all by default.

---

Also, and much more of an issue for me, the internationalized fields don't show:

But I do have the proper data in the DB:

The reason behind the bug seems to be from the API itself, the API doesn't seem to know about the localized fields and only returns the main one. Maybe should I change configure something differently there?

@Vadorequest regarding hiding field, its possible with visual editor as described here:
https://docs.jetadmin.io/manipulate/summary-view

regarding values not shown, i need to investigate it more detailed, which data type is specified for them in JET btw?

[Vadorequest]

The values (label_fr, label_en) are not shown, because my model doesn't explicitly list them.

Here is my Model:

from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericRelation
from django.db import models
from jsonfield import JSONField


class Org(models.Model):
  name = models.SlugField(
    help_text="Name which references the organisation (unique)",
    max_length=50,
    unique=True,
  )
  label = models.CharField(
    help_text="Displayed label",
    max_length=100,
    null=False,
    blank=False,
  )
  logo = JSONField(
    help_text="Logo (JSON). All fields are required<br />"
              "Structure is likely to evolve and therefore stored as JSON for the sake of simplicity",
    default='',
    null=False,
    blank=False,
  )
  apps = JSONField(
    help_text="Applications configuration (JSON)<br />"
              "Structure is likely to evolve and therefore stored as JSON for the sake of simplicity",
    default='',
    null=False,
    blank=False,
  )
  # Reverse generic relation - XXX See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/contenttypes/#reverse-generic-relations
  student_solutions = GenericRelation('student_solution.StudentSolution')

  class Meta:
    # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/models/options/#django.db.models.Options.db_table
    db_table = "tfp_organisations"
    verbose_name = 'Organisation'
    verbose_name_plural = 'Organisations'

    # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/models/options/#indexes
    # indexes = [
    #   models.Index(fields=['name', 'name']),
    # ]

  def __str__(self):
    return self.label

As you can see, there is no mention of label_en or label_fr, it's because those fields are added in the model at runtime. But they exist in the DB.

from modeltranslation.translator import translator, TranslationOptions

from tfp_backoffice.apps.org.models import Org


class OrgTranslationOptions(TranslationOptions):
  """
  See https://django-modeltranslation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/registration.html
  """
  fields = ('label',)
  required_languages = ('fr',)  # ex: {'de': ('title', 'text'), 'default': ('title',)}


translator.register(Org, OrgTranslationOptions)

It's a particular edge case, JET maps the model but is not aware of those fields that are added a bit differently, through a register

@Vadorequest hello!

managed to investigate this issue: the problem is that django-modeltranslation patches django models so you need to run jet_django only after django-modeltranslation has finished its patching like this in your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'modeltranslation',
'jet_django', # after modeltranslation
…
)
