#30534: ModelForms: Allow `cleaned_data` to overwrite fields' default values ------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: RobertAKARobin | Owner: nobody Type: New feature | Status: new Component: Forms | Version: 2.2 Severity: Normal | Keywords: forms, models Triage Stage: Unreviewed | Has patch: 0 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 1 UI/UX: 0 | ------------------------------------------+------------------------------- See comments here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/7068/files#r289432409
Currently, when submitting a form, if 'some_field' isn't in the data payload (e.g. it wasn't included in the form, perhaps because its value is derived from another field), and 'some_field' has a default value on the model, it cannot be overwritten with 'self.cleaned_data'. This does not really follow the paradigm of modifying data in 'cleaned_data'. It requires the user to copy and overwrite the raw data submitted with the form. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30534> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
