Django required field in model form

Question

I have a form where a couple of fields are coming out as required when I don\'t want them too. Here is the form from models.py

class CircuitForm(ModelForm):
         


        

Answer 1

If you don't want to modify blank setting for your fields inside models (doing so will break normal validation in admin site), you can do the following in your Form class:

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(CircuitForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    for key in self.fields:
        self.fields[key].required = False 

The redefined constructor won't harm any functionality.
