Question

I’ve been doing things like this in the clean method:

if self.cleaned_data['type'].organized_by != self.cleaned_data['organized_by']:
      raise forms.ValidationError('The type and organization do not match.')
if self.cleaned_data['start'] > self.cleaned_data['end']:
      raise forms.ValidationError('The start date cannot be later than the end date.')

But then that means that the form can only raise one of these errors at a time. Is there a way for the form to raise both of these errors?

EDIT #1:
Any solutions for the above are great, but would love something that would also work in a scenario like:

if self.cleaned_data['type'].organized_by != self.cleaned_data['organized_by']:
      raise forms.ValidationError('The type and organization do not match.')
if self.cleaned_data['start'] > self.cleaned_data['end']:
      raise forms.ValidationError('The start date cannot be later than the end date.')
super(FooAddForm, self).clean()

Where FooAddForm is a ModelForm and has unique constraints that might also cause errors. If anyone knows of something like that, that would be great…

From the docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/forms/validation/#cleaning-and-validating-fields-that-depend-on-each-other

from django.forms.util import ErrorList

def clean(self):

  if self.cleaned_data['type'].organized_by != self.cleaned_data['organized_by']:
    msg = 'The type and organization do not match.'
    self._errors['type'] = ErrorList([msg])
    del self.cleaned_data['type']

  if self.cleaned_data['start'] > self.cleaned_data['end']:
    msg = 'The start date cannot be later than the end date.'
    self._errors['start'] = ErrorList([msg])
    del self.cleaned_data['start']

  return self.cleaned_data
