A BooleanField translates into a checkbox, and the only way to "require" a value for a checkbox is to require it to be checked (i.e., to have a value which evaluates true); any false value, or the absence of a value, will fail. This has been the documented behavior for a long time, though occasional bugs would cause it not to actually work that way. (also, there have been several long discussions about this behavior leading up to it being finalized as it currently works, so if you'd like to take up an argument against it you probably want to start by finding them in the archive) -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
