Django: Make certain fields in a ModelForm required=False

Question

How do I make certain fields in a ModelForm required=False?

If I have:

class ThatForm(ModelForm):
  class Meta:
    widgets = {\"text\": Textarea(require         


        

Answer 1

you ought to add blank=True to the corresponding model

The documentation says

If the model field has blank=True, then required is set to False on the form field. Otherwise, required=True.

Also see the documentation for blank itself.
