I've a form that has a field 'instrucciones' that should be optional to complete. I've tried to modified it in the model and put it as a blank field, null true, and even use a default ('').

instrucciones = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True, default='')

However, in submition I'm ask to complete this field. Why?

models.py:

class TamaniosCantidades(models.Model):

    TAMANIOS = (('2x2', '2" x 2"',), ('3x3', '3" x 3"',),

               ('4x4', '4" x 4"',), ('5x5', '5" x 5"',))



    CANTIDADES = (('50', '50',), ('100', '100',),

                ('150', '150',))



    # usuario = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)

    tamanios = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=TAMANIOS)

    cantidades = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=CANTIDADES)

    imagenes = models.FileField(upload_to='imagenes/', null=True)

    instrucciones = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True, default='')

    # uploaded_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)



    def __str__(self):

        return self.tamanios

forms.py

# Declare Forms

class StepOneForm(forms.Form):

    tamanios = forms.ChoiceField(choices=TAMANIOS, widget=forms.RadioSelect(), label='Selecciona un tamaño')

    cantidades = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CANTIDADES, widget=forms.RadioSelect(), label='Selecciona la cantidad')







class StepThreeForm(forms.ModelForm):

    instrucciones = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

    class Meta:

        model = TamaniosCantidades

        fields = ('imagenes', 'instrucciones')

html:

{% csrf_token %}

            <div class="form-group">



                {{ form.imagenes|as_crispy_field }}



                <div id="instrucciones-adicionales"  style="display: none">



                    <p class="bold-font"> Instrucciones adicionales (opcional):</p>



                    {{ form.instrucciones|as_crispy_field }}



                </div>

            </div>





            </br>

            </br>

        </form>

Try adding this to your form underneath class Meta:

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

    super(StepThreeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    self.fields['instrucciones'].required  = False

You can also use this method to add other attributes to your fields:

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

    super(StepThreeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    self.fields['instrucciones'].required  = False

    self.fields['instrucciones'].label  = 'Instrucciones'

    self.fields['instructions'].help_text = 'Give instructions.'

You can even use it to get request in your form:

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

    self.request = kwargs.pop('request')

    super(StepThreeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

But you must also pass the request to the view:

def get_form_kwargs(self):

    kwargs = super(ViewName, self).get_form_kwargs()

    kwargs['request'] = self.request

    return kwargs
