[Django]-Modified Django admin clean() method not being invoked

✅

You have created a model form, but you have not told Django to use it.

You should create a model admin, and set form to your model form:

class ProviderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = ProviderForm

Then register your model with your model admin class:

admin.site.register(Provider, ProviderAdmin)

You should call the super() int the clean method:

def clean(self):

    cleaned_data = super(ProviderForm, self).clean()

EDIT:

This is not the correct answer, @Alasdair above is. As pointed by @scharette in the comments

This is relevant only if your form inherits another that doesn’t
return a cleaned_data dictionary in its clean() method. Also, if
you’re using python 3 there is no need to have parameters

Considering your indentation is only an issue of posting your code, my guess is you forgot to override the admin class. Here is what you need to do:

class ProviderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = ProviderForm


admin.site.register(Provider,ProviderAdmin)

You were on the right path you just forgot to register an override on the admin class by specifying the form with clean override
