Blank=False not being enforced

[fongandrew2]

It is possible to save a blank value to CharField(blank=False) without Django raising any exception.

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class MyModel(models.Model):
    my_charfield = models.CharField(max_length=32, blank=False)

# This should fail, but it does not
MyModel().save()

Simple testcase reproducing issue

Thanks for the report, but this is working as designed. The blank parameter is ​only for validation, and validation is ​not done automatically by save(). The reason for the latter is that in the general case it can't be assumed that the caller of save() is in a position to catch and handle validation errors. If you want your model data validated before saving, you should call full_clean().
