Description (last modified by )
Hey everybody,
I need a MultiValueField because I have a field which can carry 10 integers, or another field with can carry 20 dates. The count of values is not fixed, just examples here.
So, I was quite enthusiastic to see that Django features a MultiValueField. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a MultiField (a field encompassing multiple fields) but not a real MultiValueField (a field encompassing multiple values).
Would it be possible to
1) rename MultiValueField
2) add a real MultiValueField which just wraps an arbitrary form field and produces a field which could valid more than one input values (not fixed)
?
Regards,
Sven
PS: No, I don't need a MultipeChoiceField because choices comprises of all integers or all dates, so choices would be rather huge (infinite). Same for TypedMultipeChoiceField.
