Here's the example code: {{{ def custom_clean(self): image_url = self.cleaned_data.get('image_url', None) image = self.cleaned_data.get('image', None) if not image and not image_url: raise forms.ValidationError(""You must upload OR enter an image"") return self.cleaned_data class EntryOptions(admin.ModelAdmin): def get_form(self, request, obj=None): form = super(EntryOptions, self).get_form(request, obj) form.clean = custom_clean return form }}} This works in as much as you get a message about there being errors on the page, but the actual errors are not displayed anywhere. They should be displayed in a list at the top of the page. Forms have a non_field_errors() method that can be used for this purpose.",,closed,contrib.admin,newforms-admin,,duplicate,nfa-blocker,,Unreviewed,0,0,0,0,0,0
