[FIXED] Django modelform NOT required field

Issue

I have a form like this:

class My_Form(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = My_Class
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name' , 'address')

How can I set the address field as optional?

Solution

Guess your model is like this:

class My_Class(models.Model):

    address = models.CharField()

Your form for Django version < 1.8:

class My_Form(ModelForm):

    address = forms.CharField(required=False)

    class Meta:
        model = My_Class
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name' , 'address')

Your form for Django version > 1.8:

class My_Form(ModelForm):

    address = forms.CharField(blank=True)

    class Meta:
        model = My_Class
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name' , 'address')
