Customizable error message for ``unique_together`` constraints
orokusaki
message that's raised during ``validate_unique()``.
Example Error:
Widget with this Account and Name already exists.
More Useful Error:
You already have a Widget with this Name.
(The only key difference is that if a field is hidden like "Account",
I don't necessarily want the client to see it.)
The only idea I have for a solution is:
class Meta:
unique_together = (('account', 'name', 'You already have a
Widget with this Name.'),)

This really isn't the best time to be proposing new features. We're a
handful of tickets away from the 1.2 final release, so the focus of
the core team is on finishing what we've started, rather than starting
something new.
That said - my initial reaction is that while I agree with the use
case, I'm not a huge fan of the syntax - There is not syntactic
separation between column names and error messages; while that isn't
necessarily syntactically ambiguous, it's certainly conceptually
ambiguous.

Agreed on the objection to that proposed syntax.
Just for reference, there is a ticket for customizable unique error messages, #8913. Whatever is eventually done here needs to consider both plain unique and unique_together messages -- the ticket at the moment only seems to consider the former, but it would not make sense to add support for that without also doing the unique_together case.
