Yes. *You* are overriding that. The moment you override a field's definition in a ModelForm is the moment Django assumes you know best, and so Django doesn't do *any* automatic introspection of the model for that field. It simply assumes that the field definition you've given is correct in every respect, and that if it's somehow not correct you will fix it. So if the field has "blank=True" in the model, but you give Django your own custom definition for that field in the form, then Django goes with your custom field (which, in this case, has "required=True" since that's the default for all form fields unless you say otherwise). -- "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.
