I don't think this is possible with Django's model inheritance features. However, I would question why you need it: this sort of thing is probably best managed at the form level, by having one set of forms with the relevant fields set to required=False, and one with required=True (and of course one form will probably subclass the other). Or even, if you need to set this dynamically based on the value of another field in the model (say, a set of choices) then you could use a single form with a custom clean() method to validate that if field x was set to one value, fields y and z are not required, but if it's set to another value, they are required. If neither of those are suitable, maybe you could post more details of your use case. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
