    <p>I am a newbie to django, and this issue has me stumped. I cannot see the error, looked for many hours now!</p> <p>I am trying to turn off or turn on the validation of two text fields based on the value of a drop down list. If the user selects index values 8888 or 9999 the validation is turned off - this appear to be working (woo hoo!!).</p> <p>When the user selects another value (not 8888 or 9999) the validation is turned on, but remains on even when I have filled the relevant text fields. The form will not submit even when the text fields are filled because the validation is still triggered.</p> <p>Here is the code in my forms.py page:</p> <pre><code> def clean(self): cd_wrtdf = super(WorkplaceRelatedTrainingDetailsForm, self).clean() if cd_wrtdf['workplace_training_display_type'] == 8888 or cd_wrtdf['workplace_training_display_type'] == 9999: self.cleaned_data['workplace_training_institute'] = '' self.cleaned_data['workplace_training_date_completed'] = '' self.cleaned_data['workplace_training_date_expiry'] = '' else: if cd_wrtdf['workplace_training_display_type'] == 0: self._errors['workplace_training_institute'] = self.error_class([_("This field is required.xxxxxxxxx")]) del self.cleaned_data['workplace_training_institute'] self._errors['workplace_training_date_completed'] = self.error_class([_("This field is required.yyyyyyyy")]) del self.cleaned_data['workplace_training_date_completed'] return cd_wrtdf </code></pre> <p>Any suggestions or code samples would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

    1. COI've never heard "ddl" used as an abbreviation for "drop down list". Usually it means Data Definition Language, which makes the title of this post rather confusing.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
