Description

Hi,

If you create a cutom form, you can specify the isRequired property. If it is set to True and the field is not submitted, the error raised will be a (very) generic "This field is required.".

It would be useful if you could override the return validationerror somehow.

One possibility is the make isRequired a 'ready-made' validator rather than a property since all ready-made validators have an error_message that can be passed in if validation fails.

It would also remove the special-case handling of 'isRequired' and make it just another validator. Being generic can be good - especially if you get to throw in a feature for free :-)
