> Validation error messages defined at the model level are always override
with those defined on the form fields, see
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/forms/modelforms
/#considerations-regarding-model-s-error-messages docs].
`forms.IntegerField` has already defined an
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/b07ee98b27e58992fdc10fec0ec67e68ae1d272d/django/forms/fields.py#L297-L299
invalid] error message.
Thank you for your reply! Even in spite of your comment a couple of things
still confuse me:
1. I understood the part about overriding model validation with form
validation. What I cannot understand is why would I get an error message
"Enter a whole number" when I enter the whole number. I understand that
this is a default message but it doesn't make much sense to me.
2. I've read some
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/forms/validation/ docs] before
coming here. There are some good practices regarding ''code'' parameter on
this web page. So I made a conclusion that it's better to give this
parameter to the ''ValidationError'' function, but I didn't find any
information in the docs about how I should use this argument properly, so
I just followed the examples which led me to the described situation. I
would be grateful if you could provide more information about the
parameter in the docs.
I am very sorry if I wasted your time, I just want to be sure that other
users won't be confused as I am now.
Best wishes.
