[Flask] Form with no validators failing validation

[Alex Hall]

In the form class, simply put
 myField.label.text = "some label text"

Right away, Flask errors out:
AttributeError: 'UnboundField' object has no attribute 'label'

That's why I assumed I had to do it after instantiating the form. I even
tried putting all my class properties in __init__, assigning them all to
self (self.myField = StringField()), and then using
self.myField.label.text, but I got the same error. The only difference is
that the error shows on the webpage rather than in the command line. As
usual, I'm probably missing something obvious. :)
