you access :attr:`~Form.errors` or call :meth:`~Form.is_valid`. This means that
if validation has side effects, those side effects will only be triggered once.
.. method:: Form.add_error(field, error)
.. versionadded:: 1.7
This method allows adding errors to specific fields from within the
``Form.clean()`` method, or from outside the form altogether; for instance
from a view. This is a better alternative to fiddling directly with
``Form._errors`` as described in :ref:`modifying-field-errors`.
The ``field`` argument is the name of the field to which the errors
should be added. If its value is ``None`` the error will be treated as
a non-field error as returned by ``Form.non_field_errors()``.
The ``error`` argument can be a simple string, or preferably an instance of
``ValidationError``. See :ref:`raising-validation-error` for best practices
when defining form errors.
Note that ``Form.add_error()`` automatically removes the relevant field from
``cleaned_data``.

@ -464,3 +464,31 @@ Secondly, once we have decided that the combined data in the two fields we are
considering aren't valid, we must remember to remove them from the
``cleaned_data``. `cleaned_data`` is present even if the form doesn't
validate, but it contains only field values that did validate.
.. versionchanged:: 1.7
In lieu of manipulating ``_errors`` directly, it's now possible to add errors
to specific fields with :meth:`django.forms.Form.add_error()`::
from django import forms
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
# Everything as before.
...
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = super(ContactForm, self).clean()
cc_myself = cleaned_data.get("cc_myself")
subject = cleaned_data.get("subject")
if cc_myself and subject and "help" not in subject:
msg = u"Must put 'help' in subject when cc'ing yourself."
self.add_error('cc_myself', msg)
self.add_error('subject', msg)
The second argument of ``add_error()`` can be a simple string, or preferably
an instance of ``ValidationError``. See :ref:`raising-validation-error` for
more details.
Unlike the ``_errors`` approach, ``add_error()` automatically removes the field
from ``cleaned_data``.
