Unique BooleanField value in Django?

Question

Suppose my models.py is like so:

class Character(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    is_the_chosen_one = models.BooleanField()
         


        

Answer 1

The following solution is a little bit ugly but might work:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    is_the_chosen_one = models.NullBooleanField(default=None, unique=True)

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        if self.is_the_chosen_one is False:
            self.is_the_chosen_one = None
        super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

If you set is_the_chosen_one to False or None it will be always NULL. You can have NULL as much as you want, but you can only have one True.
