`required=False not working as expected for string fields` about django-jsonform HOT 2 CLOSED

Yes, this is kind of a "known" issue at this point.

As per the JSON Schema spec, all properties are optional by default. But I've chosen not to follow that rule and instead stick to how things work in Django.

E.g., even if a field is not required, such as — name = models.CharField(required=False) — Django will still insert an empty string in the database.

So, we interpret the required keyword as to whether this field (key) can be empty or not.

But we still require that the submitted data must contain all the keys which are declared in the schema.

So, the built-in JSONSchemaValidator will consider this valid: {"required_field": "", "non_required_field": ""}

from django-jsonform.

I'm closing this issue because of lack of activity. And also because the existing behaviour will most likely not change.

If you have more arguments to make or questions to ask, feel free to reopen the issue.
