This MR extends the ExtensibleModel to accept fields in addition to properties and methods. It leverages django-jsonstore in order to aggregate those fields in one extended_dataJSONField, so as to not need migrations when apps add additional fields.

from jsonstore import CharFieldfrom .models import PersonPerson.field(shirt_size=CharField(verbose_name="T-Shirt size", default="7XL"))
The fields are transparent to all known parts of Django. They are accessed like any other field, and even automagically show up in forms or a ModelAdmin:
