Description (last modified by Alex Gaynor)

If you have a model like:

class Event(models.Model):
    ...
    end = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
    ...

and a modelform like:

from django import forms
from events.models import Event

class EventForm(forms.ModelForm):
    
    end = forms.DateTimeField(('%m/%d/%Y %H:%M',),
            widget=forms.SplitDateTimeWidget(
                date_format='%m/%d/%Y',
                time_format='%H:%M',
            ),
            required=False
    )
    
    class Meta: 
        model = Event

submitting an empty field will cause a validation error.
