[Answered ]-BooleanField custom validator not working

by

2👍

✅

According to This Docs for validating objects:

You can clean_fields(exclude=None) which will validate all fields in model except the fields in exclude.

From This doc:

Note that validators will not be run automatically when you save a
model, but if you are using a ModelForm, it will run your validators
on any fields that are included in your form.

More information about validating here.

EDIT

For field specific errors, clean_<field>() can be used in forms. Example:

terms_accepted= forms.BooleanField()
-------
-------
def clean_terms_accepted(self):
    data = self.cleaned_data
    if data['terms_accepted'] is not None:
        return True
    else:
        msg="Durp!"
        self._errors["terms_accepted"] = self.error_class([msg])
        return False
