Field.get_choices() shouldn't add blank_choice if there is an equivalent in self.choices

[skoom]

This will allow someone to override the blank choice (e.g. BLANK_CHOICE_DASH) easily by having (,'Custom Value') in their list of choices

[skoom]

Formatting changed the description, sorry,

I mean ("","Custom Value")

Marking wontfix because there are already ways to do this; we don't need another.

How can I do it? I have 14 (two for each day) TimeField with 24 (hourly) choices and one blank choice I want to be 'Not Available'

Is there an easy way to do this without having to redefine all 14 fields in the ModelForm?

[theaspect@…]

I've reopened this ticket with "design decision needed" because today aren't easy way to define blank_choice for ChoiceField, TypedChoiceField other than overriding choicefield or patching fields in init

russellm closed ticked but didn't suggest any simple way.

And I'm re-closing it because you didn't follow proper procedure. Bring it up on the django-dev mailing list if you think it is really a problem, don't re-open a ticket closed by a core dev without permission.
