✅

Yes, you can control these attributes at the time of initialization in the form’s __init__

from django import forms
class PersonForm(forms.Form):
    some_field=forms.CharField(max_length=20)

    def __init__(self, *args,**kwargs):
        required = kwargs.get('required', True)
        super(PersonForm,self).__init__(*args,**kwargs)
        self.fields['some_field'].required = required

and in template_instance

template_instance = PersonForm(required=False)

You can leave normal_instance = PersonForm() alone, as it is set to required=True by default
