3457	Allow overriding of error message for each newforms Field type	anonymous	nobody	"Right now, the only field type that allows custom error messages is RegexField. For those of us that cannot display errors next to their respective field (for whatever reason), having 6 ""This field is required."" messages in a row just confuses users.

I propose adding error_text to the base Field definition. Adding a simple

{{{
#!python
self.error_text = error_text or u'This field is required.'
}}}

The only design decision I see that needs to be made is how to handle fields that have multiple error messages, e.g., the min/max errors on IntegerField. Perhaps arguments would work there, too: max_error_text, min_error_text."		closed	Forms	dev		fixed		egmanoj@… jm.bugtracking@… densetsu.no.ero.sennin@… leo.soto@…	Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
