DateField doesn't work with blank=True

[wojtek@…]

I created the following model:
class Event(meta.Model):

heading = meta.CharField(maxlength=256)
description = meta.TextField()
added = meta.DateField(auto_now_add = True)
remind = meta.DateField(blank = True)
file = meta.FileField(upload_to = MEDIA_ROOT, blank = True)

If I don't fill out the 'remind' field in the form - I get the following error:
ERROR: null value in column "remind" violates not-null constraint INSERT INTO "crm_events" ("heading","description","added","remind","file") VALUES ('foo','bar','2005-12-12',NULL,)

So apparently that column should be set to NOT null automagically.

You need to add null=True as well as blank=True. I wonder if this should be done automatically when blank=True is specified, since that is what is wanted in 90% of cases?

Yeah, you need null=True on that DateField.
