In Django, how do i change “This field is required.” to “Name is required”?

Question

I\'m using the forms framework. And when I set required=True, this error shows. What if I don\'t want it to say \"This field\", but instead, say the label?

Since i\'m no

If you want to customize the message a little bit more you can also:

from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError

def my_validator(value):
    if not len(value):
        raise ValidationError('Your error message here!')

Then, in your models.py:

from django import forms

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    my_field= forms.CharField(validators=[my_validator])
