ModelForm not creating field with required options

[victor menezes]

Hi all,

I'm using Django 1.8 and having trouble to because my form does not generate fields with required option even though they have the property "blank=False" in the model.

In the example bellow, shouldn't the field "description" have the "required" attribute in the html generated using "form.as_p" or am I missing anything?

models.py

class Place(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=False, default='')

    owners = models.ManyToManyField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, blank=False)

    members = models.ManyToManyField(Member, blank=True)

    description =  models.TextField(blank=False)

    location = models.CharField(max_length=400, blank=True)

    additional_info = models.TextField(blank=True)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.name

class PlaceForm(ModelForm):

    class Meta:

        model = Place

        fields = '__all__'

views.py

@login_required(login_url='/')

def addPlaceView(request):

    place_form = PlaceForm()

    context = {

        'form': place_form,

    }

    return render(request, 'newPlace.html', context)

newPlace.html

<form action="/newplace/" method="post">

    {% csrf_token %}

    {{ form.as_p }}

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

You need to set Form.required_css_class
