Maybe I'm a bit confused, but is it not the fields cleanup method that would be responsible for actually cleaning up its data, besides validating?
If you really must clean it before that, the best way indeed seems to extend the form and overload its clean method, im not sure wich one, there's two to look at, I recall the one was more convenient to use then the other, as it simply just called the other method. It is indeed responsible for calling the clean method on its fields if I'm not mistaken, so thats the route I would choose in this case. Also yes, you could make a copy of the POST data, modify that and pass it to the form constructor, but as you mentioned that doesnt seem very nice way to handle things. Hope this is of some assistance. -- Regards, Yuka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
