23683	CharField's max_length is Incorrectly Listed as Optional in Documentation	Jeremy	nobody	"The documentation (for all currently documented versions of Django) on the CharField class states that it:

{{{
Has two optional arguments for validation:

max_length
min_length
}}}

However, if you actually try to create a CharField without a max_length Django will complain:

{{{
""some_field"": CharFields require a ""max_length"" attribute that is a positive integer.
}}}


So, it seems that the max_length arg is required by Django, but listed as optional in the documentation, and thus it appears the documentation requires an update."	Bug	closed	Documentation	1.7	Normal	invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
