BooleanField error.

[Shinneider Libanio da Silva]

Hi.

i want to try use a BooleanField for validate my received boolean values

forms.BooleanField().validate(value=False)

but a error occurs. searching in the BooleanField code, and i see this:

  def validate(self, value):
        if not value and self.required:
            raise ValidationError(self.error_messages['required'], code='required')

however 'False' is a valid value for a BooleanField, but is blocked by if, the correct would be:

  def validate(self, value):
-       if not value and self.required:
+       if value is None and self.required:
            raise ValidationError(self.error_messages['required'], code='required')

can i open a PR for this ?

Found this while going through the documentation, it seems that the validate() method for BooleanField is working as expected, you can read more about it in the ​documentation .
Furthermore, a similar issue has also been reported in the past ticket:23547#comment:5.

Duplicate of #23547. This is a ​documented behavior.
