Django: Make certain fields in a ModelForm required=False
django, field, forms, modelform, required
Solution
following from comments. Probably yes:
class ThatForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
# first call parent's constructor
super(ThatForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# there's a `fields` property now
self.fields['desired_field_name'].required = False
Problem
How do I make certain fields in a ModelForm required=False? If I have: ``` class ThatForm(ModelForm): class Meta: widgets = {"text": Textarea(required=False)} ``` Or if I have: ``` class ThatForm(ModelForm): text = Textarea(required=False) ``` Django returns: ``` __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'required' ```
