Thanks so much for your response. I have done all that and I have model forms working for other models. However, I keep getting validating errors with datetime, probably is how I am entering the data. I have also tried the SplitDateTimeWidget I am getting the same validation error. I have tried manually creating the form and it worked. I wonder what is the normally approach to DateTimeField in django templates. Is using the SplitDateTimeWidget the norm or should I use the AdminDateTimeWidget ?
Thanks again.
