Re: Auto-truncated fields at max_length

Hi,

> I would prefer to instead auto-truncate the value (so I don't have an exception). Now, I can do this manually, but what I would really want is to have all of my models auto-truncate the value. (Not necessarily intelligently. Just cutting it off at the 999th character is fine.)

Is there any reason why you don't perform a check before filling the model ?
Where do you get your data from ?
