Disabled field is considered for validation in WTForms and Flask

Question

I have some fields in page disabled as for example:(using jinja2 templating system)

    {{ form.na         


        

Answer 1

You need to make the name field optional when defining the form.

name = wtf.TextField("Team Name", validators=[validators.Optional()])

Then in your views, pass a variable called "role" and set it to either manager or admin depending on the user.

{% if role == 'manager' % }
    {{ form.name(disabled=True) }}
{% else % }
    {{ form.name() }}
{{ form.title }}
-- submit button --
