Thanks so much for your response. I have done all that and I have
model forms working for other models.
However, I keep getting validating errors with datetime, probably is
how I am entering the data. I have also tried the SplitDateTimeWidget
I am getting the same
validation error. I have tried manually creating the form and it
worked. I wonder what is the normally approach to DateTimeField in
django templates. Is using the
SplitDateTimeWidget the norm or should I use the AdminDateTimeWidget ?
Thanks again.
