Update: Oops, the character field is working fine. It's an "auto_now_add" date field that's causing problems when editing an existing item inline with another model in admin. Here's the problematic date field:
submitted = models.DateTimeField('Date Submitted', auto_now_add=True) And the SQL error: ERROR: null value in column "submitted" violates not-null constraint UPDATE "myapp_message" SET message"='Mauris nec mi eget turpis tincidunt sodales',notes='',"user_id"='1',"submitted"=NULL WHERE "id"='30' --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
