updating the Meta class attributes at will

[Frank Gwada]

I have an AbsrtractBase class mode with a class Meta and I want it in such a way that a user when setting up can be able to update or change the verbose_name in the Meta class is this possible?

what I have so far

class AbstractBase(models.Model):
   ......
   custom_name = models.CharField(blank=True)

   def update_verbose_name(self, custom_name):
       try:
            if self.custom_name is not None:
                return self.custom_name

            else:
                self.custom_name = self.__class__.__name__
                return self.custom_name


        except Exception as error:
            return str(error)

   class Meta(object):
      abstract = True

      verbose_name = self.custom_name
 

but the issue is that I cannot access the self.custom name variable

is there any other solution that I can achieve what I'm intending to do
