Shawn, thanks for hint, I'll give that a try. Also I have some questions, for my own clarification of things:
1) using your method - would is_valid() retur true then? 2) in my form display I should hide the "takeoff" field then, correct? 3) I alredy tried to override clean_takeoff() - it didn't get called. Any ideas, why?
