If I have a field, for example a CharField named 'name', which must be unique, what's the best way to ensure uniqueness whether creating a new entry or editing an existing one?
By default, the form won't know if it is being used to edit or create, so if you look for duplicates in the db, how would you know whether any dup you found is just the current entry being edited? Or is the form the wrong place for this kind of thing? Should this instead be enforced in the model, and we should instead catch the exception throw during the save attempt? I'm guessing not, as I was once told that validation in the model is deprecated.
