Question

Table in PostgreSQL database:

CREATE TABLE pmss_recordmodel
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  "Name" character varying(100),
  CONSTRAINT pmss_recordmodel_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
ALTER TABLE pmss_recordmodel OWNER TO postgres;

Model:

class RecordModel(models.Model):

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.Name

    Name = models.CharField(max_length = 100, unique = False, null = True, blank = True)

When I POST data with blank Name field, form.is_valid() returns False. Why? Am I missing something?

EDIT:

class RecordForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = RecordModel

    Name = forms.CharField(label = "Имя ", widget = forms.TextInput(attrs = {'size': 15}))

Answer 1

Django forms documentation:

By default, each Field class assumes the value is required

Set the “required” argument to False as such:

Name = forms.CharField(required = False, label = "Имя ", widget = forms.TextInput(attrs = {'size': 15}))
