django: Mark field as required on a form

A simple little feature which is lacking from the automatic form generation is marking something as required.

It's a bit of a shame that you have to override the whole form to get this working, but it gives more flexibility to how you want the required markings to be displayed.

view sourceprint?

01.{% for field in form %}

02.<div>

03.  <label for="{{ field.auto_id }}">

04.    {% if field.field.required %}<span class="required">{{ field.label }}</span>

05.    {% else %}{{ field.label }}{% endif %}

06.  </label>

07.  {{ field }}

08.  {{ field.errors }}

09.</div>

10.{% endfor %}
