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):

Expanding on DataGreed's answer, I created a Mixin that allows you to specify a fields_required variable on the Meta class like this:

class MyForm(RequiredFieldsMixin, ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ['field1', 'field2']
        fields_required = ['field1']

Here it is:

class RequiredFieldsMixin():

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        fields_required = getattr(self.Meta, 'fields_required', None)

        if fields_required:
            for key in self.fields:
                if key not in fields_required:
                    self.fields[key].required = False
