Problem
MonitorField
's default value isdjango.utils.timezone.now
even whennull=True
. This behavior is misleading and should be changed. Despite that, some users might rely on this very same behavior and that's why #577 introduced a deprecation warning when such behavior is encountered.The goal of this PR is make the field use
None
as default when initialized withnull=True
and without a default - of course the provided argument fordefault
takes precedence.Original discussion in #100
Solution
Remove the deprecation warning introduced in #577 and implement the desired behavior: use
None
when the field is nullable and no default is provided.This change requires a major release (
5.x.x
) as discussed with @foarsitter in #577 .Commandments
