[Django]-Django strange SlugField validation, error not raised before clean(), uncleaned data returned

The clean() method is called after the field’s validator. If the alias is invalid, then it won’t be in cleaned_data. Your clean method should handle this case, for example:

def clean():
    cleaned_data = super().clean()
    print(self.errors)  # You should see the alias error here
    if 'alias' in cleaned_data:
        print(cleaned_data['alias'])
        # do any code that relies on cleaned_data['alias'] here
    return cleaned_data

See the docs on cleaning fields that depend on each other for more info.
