Title Body

I understand form the documentation http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/ that you can add error_messages to a model field and supply your own dict of error messages. However, what are they keys of the dict you are supposed to pass? class MyModel(models.Model): some_field = models.CharField(max_length=55, error_messages={'required': "My custom error"}) If it is easier to do this on the modelform that is used that would also work, however. I would rather not have to create explicitly creating each field and their type again. This is what I was trying to avoid: class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm): some_field = forms.CharField(error_messages={'required' : 'Required error'}) Update 2: Test code used in my project My Model: class MyTestModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=127,error_messages={'blank' : 'BLANK','required' : 'REQUIRED'}) My Form: class EditTestModel(ModelForm): class Meta: model = MyTestModel My View: tf = EditTestModel({'name' : ''}) print tf.is_valid() # prints False print tf.full_clean() # prints None print tf # prints the form, with a <li> error list containg the error "This field is required" <tr><th><label for="id_name">Name:</label></th><td><ul class="errorlist"><li>This field is required.</li></ul><input id="id_name" type="text" name="name" maxlength="127" /></td></tr>
