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

When we need to set required option on a bunch of fields we can:

class ThatForm(forms.ModelForm):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        for field in self.Meta.required:
            self.fields[field].required = True

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = (
            'email',
            'first_name',
            'last_name',
            'address',
            'postcode',
            'city',
            'state',
            'country',
            'company',
            'tax_id',
            'website',
            'service_notifications',
        )
        required = (
            'email',
            'first_name',
            'last_name',
            'address',
            'postcode',
            'city',
            'country',
        )
