Django’s ModelForm unique_together validation

by

I solved this same problem by overriding the validate_unique() method of the ModelForm:


def validate_unique(self):
    exclude = self._get_validation_exclusions()
    exclude.remove('problem') # allow checking against the missing attribute

    try:
        self.instance.validate_unique(exclude=exclude)
    except ValidationError, e:
        self._update_errors(e.message_dict)

Now I just always make sure that the attribute not provided on the form is still available, e.g. instance=Solution(problem=some_problem) on the initializer.
