Description

I'm tired to always specify, which fields are must be required in that usual way:

        self.fields['tag_line'].required = True
        self.fields['cover'].required = True
        self.fields['logo'].required = True

So I propose to add extra_required property to ModelForm Meta class.
A way to make fields required:

    class Meta:
        model = models.SomeModel
        ...
        extra_required = ['tag_line', 'cover', 'logo']

Resolution: → wontfix
Status: new → closed

While I somewhat like the idea, I'm going to won't fix this for reasons described in #17924 and https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20000#comment:9. Please open a thread on the DevelopersMailingList if you want to argue otherwise.
