I am trying to setup different models in django.

Some of my models includes fields for a text.
A text is defined by:
- CharField (tex)
- CharField (font-size)
- CharField (font-weight)
- CharField (color)

So some of my models need one to n of these texts.

Is it possible to create a collection of Fields, for example "Test-Collection" that includes all 4 fields. So that i didn't have to write all 4 field manually for each text i need in a model?

Some thing like that:

class Box(CMSPlugin):

    text1 = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text1_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text1_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text1_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)



    text2 = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text2_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text2_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text2_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)



    text3 = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text3_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text3_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text3_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)

Into that:

class Box(CMSPlugin):

    text1 = TextColelction...

    text2 = TextColelction...

    text3 = TextColelction... 

I am not sure what you want to achieve. It looks like you could simplify this model to this

from django.db import models





class TextCollection(models.Model):

    text = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    box = models.ForeignKey("Box", on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="textcollections") 





class Box(CMSPlugin):

    pass

This way you can use as much TextCollections as you want in a Box.
If you also want a Text in multiple Boxes you could use ManyToManyField instead of ForeignKey.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/db/examples/many_to_many/

Maybe its better to define a separate model for text and have a ForeignKey relation to the Box. For example:

class Text(models.Model):

    text = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text_font_weight = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text_font_size = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    text_color = models.CharField(max_length=100)



class Box(..):

   text1 = models.ForeignKey(Text)

   text2 = models.ForeignKey(Text)

   text3 = models.ForeignKey(Text)
