Form field required despite setting required attr to false
I've managed to do something really strange. I have a web app in Django (2.1,
also using Bootstrap, jQuery) that is misbehaving.
In my forms.py, I have defined:
caption = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(
attrs={
'required': False, 'class': "roll-caption", 'placeholder': "Caption",
}
))
In the model.py,
caption = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)
The class and placeholder render just fine. I've covered every base I can think of. But, the form field is being rendered as required in html. Needless to say, I am confused. The form field is sitting inside of some divs, but that shouldn't affect it, I thought.
Any idea what I've managed to do?

You need to pass required=False to the form field itself. Please take a look at this part of the documentation.
Your code should look like
caption = forms.CharField(required=False, widget=...)
