Ok, just gave this a shot and got no errors, but the changes I made in the child didn't take affect. The code for the parent form and its child is at: http://dpaste.com/35195/
It seems like the parent's fields are being defined, then the spectral_required variable. So as far as the child is concerned, the fields aren't required. Submitting the form with the child's required fields shows no errors. Does this involve over-riding the __init__ method or something? Perhaps I'm thinking of this in the wrong way.
