Yeah! I think that is one of the way. :) But I guess it can done at some level at Model validation.. The doc says https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-clean-method "if you would like to override the clean() method and maintain the _default validation_, you must call the parent class's clean() method." A example would really help... :) > On Friday, November 2, 2012 4:36:20 AM UTC-4, Dilip M wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I am new to Django. Went through docs before posting this..
