Use a custom validator (you will need to make a DB call within your validator to look for the existence of another record with the field value in question) 2. Add a SlugField to your model, define it to be unique, and prepopulate it from the field that's supposed to be case-insensitively unique. Then, you will get the right validation errors in the admin (but they will be shown against the slug field.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
