Try adding "groups="Edit" to the html field's NotBlank assertion params.
Leave the other assertions alone.
You'll need to instantiate two different forms for both the add and edit
actions. For add, you can create the form as you were before, as it will
validate against the "Default" group (implied for assertions that don't
specify "groups"). For the edit form, you can use a "validation_groups"
option of:
array('Default', 'Edit')
...which will include all assertions in the form's validation. One caveat
is that if the form only has an html field, possible errors on
title/author_name/author_email would bubble up to the form object since the
fields don't exist. So it's good to display errors of the form itself (not
just its fields) in your template in order to catch this. In practice, this
shouldn't ever happen if you rely on the add action and its validation to
create the object.
You could certainly limit the edit form to just use the "Edit" validation
group, but I like over-validating so I can catch invalid fields in the DB :)
