Comment:
I've added a rough patch for this. To specify a custom error message for
the unique contraint, you'll need to do something like this:
{{{
class Context(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(error_messages={'unique': u'My custom
message'})
}}}
I don't know a lot about !ModelForms vs. Forms but I can't seem to get
this to work for plain Forms. Should this also be a Form error_message
key?
I'm also not sure where to put the docs since the Model error_messages
parameter is documented but lacking specificity
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/models/fields/#error-messages).
Should I make this more specific?
