ModelFormSet not adding 'required' to fields

[DuraNathOG]

When working with ModelFormSet, the <input> tag is not getting the 'required' attribute by default.

I've fixed this in my project by adding the following to the form.

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        for key, value in self.fields.items():
            if value.required:
                self.fields[key].widget.attrs['required'] = 'required'

Without this, the form posts to the server and fails validation, when it can/should be handled client side first. The fact 'if value.required' can be tested here leads me to believe this is a bug and should be default behaviour.

The required attribute of widgets is set when the widget is ​rendered, not when the form is instantiated.
