Description

This is related to ticket #8913 and Google groups discussion: ​http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/6306fea94a537c3b

Allow developers to specify a unique_together custom error_message on their model. This is more difficult than #8913 since the syntax is less obvious. Should there be something in the Meta?

Are you guys plan to fix it in 1.4?

comment:4 by Aymeric Augustin, 13 years ago

This ticket hasn't gotten much attention. Apparently, no one cares enough to write a patch. Until someone does, the feature won't be implemented.

I think it should get the attention it deserves. Providing the checking of the fields without allowing to use a proper error message is like buying a car which an alarm but without a door.

More attention please! Are there any plans for this yet? I'm not confident enough yet to submit a patch but would like to work on this with someone.

Needs documentation: set

Looks reasonable to me, but needs documentation.

comment:10 by loic84, 11 years ago

@timo what kind of documentation do you have in mind? Just an entry in the release notes?

comment:11 by loic84, 11 years ago

Needs documentation: unset

Added documentation to the PR.

In 8847a0c601e4261823b1726b2db73eec2ac17940:

Fixed #16192 -- Made unique error messages in ModelForm customizable.

Overriding the error messages now works for both unique fields, unique_together
and unique_for_date.

This patch changed the overriding logic to allow customizing NON_FIELD_ERRORS
since previously only fields' errors were customizable.

Refs #20199.

Thanks leahculver for the suggestion.
