Hi,

in a Model I have a CharField with choices:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    THE_CHOICES=(
        ('val',_(u'Value Description')),
    )
    ...
    myfield=models.CharField(max_length=3,choices=THE_CHOICES

Now in the template I access an instance of MyModel: {{ my_instance.myfield }} Of course the gives me val instead of Value Description. How do I get the description?

Thanks in advance!
