[Answered ]-Django – clean() with hidden form

✅

The answer is that you don’t need to override the clean method here because

The ModelForm.clean() method sets a flag that makes the model
validation step validate the uniqueness of model fields that are
marked as unique, unique_together or unique_for_date|month|year.

If you would like to override the clean() method and maintain this
validation, you must call the parent class’s clean() method.

So all your need is
forms.py

class userForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = user
        fields = ["name"]

that’s it!
