How do you disable client-side JS form field validation in Django's admin, specifically for URLFields?
I have a client that doesn't want to enter "http://" for all URL fields, which seems reasonable. This is easy to do with the server-side form validation, but the client-side still prevents the form from being submitted unless the user enters "http://". How do I turn that off, just for that field? I'm looking through the code for models.URLField/forms.URLField/URLValidator, but I don't see an easy way to turn it off without reimplementing the widget.
Edit: Example of the JS validation I want to disable.

disabled. The disabled boolean argument, when set to True , disables a form field using the disabled HTML attribute so that it won't be editable by users. Even if a user tampers with the field's value submitted to the server, it will be ignored in favor of the value from the form's initial data.
Just add blank=True in your model field and it won't be required when you're using modelforms . "If the model field has blank=True , then required is set to False on the form field. Otherwise, required=True ."
You can use is_valid() when required to validate complete form-data. This validation will check for Python-datatypes. This function will return True or False (Python Data Types) in return.
cleaned_data returns a dictionary of validated form input fields and their values, where string primary keys are returned as objects. form. data returns a dictionary of un-validated form input fields and their values in string format (i.e. not objects).
As I said in the comment, Django doesn't do any client-side validation. The error you're seeing is coming from the browser's own HTML5 validation: see this website for an example and explanation.
You can disable HTML5 validation by adding novalidate to the surrounding form element.
