Hello,

I have a db model containing:

action = models.CharField(max_length=4, null=True, blank=True, choices=PHOTO_ACTION, db_index=True)

ModelSerializer I believe turns this into a ChoiceField.

Unfortunately the choice list doesn't list an appropriate value to correspond with None.

I have tried setting required=False, but it has no affect.

Thanks.

Looks like we may currently support this in allow_null, but not allow_blank. We should probably support both options.

Still surprising tho as you do also have null=True on that model field.

It'd be helpful to see the serializer field it generates - could you do print(repr(MySerializer)) in the Django shell and include the output for the action field on this ticket.

Unfortunately, that is not very helpful:

In [5]: print(repr(spud.serializers.PhotoSerializer))
<class 'spud.serializers.PhotoSerializer'> 

Ok, from within the program, did a print(repr(serializer.get_fields())) instead.

That gives me:

('action', ChoiceField(choices=[(u'D', u'delete'), (u'S', u'regenerate size'), (u'R', u'regenerate thumbnails'), (u'V', u'regenerate video'), (u'M', u'move photo'), (u'auto', u'rotate automatic'), (u'90', u'rotate 90 degrees clockwise'), (u'180', u'rotate 180 degrees clockwise'), (u'270', u'rotate 270 degrees clockwise')], required=False)), 

Which lists all the choices except for the None choice.

Is this what you where after?

print(repr(spud.serializers.PhotoSerializer()))

You were missing the () to instantiate the serializer. Above would have worked.

Is this what you where after?

Yes, thank you.

To do: Add allow_blank for ChoiceField, and ensure it gets mapped to from model field -> serializer field.

Working on this, but having trouble figuring out what tests should be added.
