form issue.

I have a form with a lot of fields in it.  Users will never require data in all fields, so most have the required = False tag:

model:
class EditStruct(models.Model):
    varName = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    varOrder = models.IntegerField()
    varLabel = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    varType = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    vChoice1_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice1_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice1_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice2_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice2_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice2_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice3_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice3_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice3_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice4_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice4_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice4_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice5_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice5_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice5_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice6_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice6_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice6_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice7_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice7_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice7_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice8_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice8_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice8_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice9_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice9_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice9_score = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice0_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    vChoice0_code = models.IntegerField()
    vChoice0_score = models.IntegerField()
    EditData_id = models.ForeignKey(EditData)

view:
def editstruct(request):
    user = User.objects.get(pk=request.session['user.id'])
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = EditStructForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            edstruct = EditStruct()
            edstruct.varName = form.cleaned_data['varName']
            edstruct.varLabel = form.cleaned_data['varLabel']
            edstruct.varType = form.cleaned_data['varType']
            edstruct.vChoice1_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice1_text']
            edstruct.vChoice1_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice1_code']
            edstruct.vChoice1_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice1_score']
            edstruct.vChoice2_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice2_text']
            edstruct.vChoice2_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice2_code']
            edstruct.vChoice2_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice2_score']
            edstruct.vChoice3_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice3_text']
            edstruct.vChoice3_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice3_code']
            edstruct.vChoice3_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice3_score']
            edstruct.vChoice4_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice4_text']
            edstruct.vChoice4_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice4_code']
            edstruct.vChoice4_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice4_score']
            edstruct.vChoice5_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice5_text']
            edstruct.vChoice5_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice5_code']
            edstruct.vChoice5_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice5_score']
            edstruct.vChoice6_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice6_text']
            edstruct.vChoice6_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice6_code']
            edstruct.vChoice6_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice6_score']
            edstruct.vChoice7_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice7_text']
            edstruct.vChoice7_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice7_code']
            edstruct.vChoice7_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice7_score']
            edstruct.vChoice8_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice8_text']
            edstruct.vChoice8_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice8_code']
            edstruct.vChoice8_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice8_score']
            edstruct.vChoice9_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice9_text']
            edstruct.vChoice9_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice9_code']
            edstruct.vChoice9_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice9_score']
            edstruct.vChoice0_text = form.cleaned_data['vChoice0_text']
            edstruct.vChoice0_code = form.cleaned_data['vChoice0_code']
            edstruct.vChoice0_score = form.cleaned_data['vChoice0_score']
            struct = str(request.session['structfile'])
            labellist = Get_labels(struct)
            x = len(labellist)-1
            y = labellist[x][0]
            edstruct.varOrder = y
            edstruct.user_id = user
            edstruct.save()
            strfile = open(get_file(struct))
            text = strfile.read()
            newvar = ritenewvar(edstruct)
            out = open('c:\\stats_portal\\myproject\\myproject\\media'+struct, 'w')
            out.write(text)
            out.write(newvar)
            out.close()
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('myproject.myapp.views.eitstruct'))
    else:
        form = EditStructForm()
    return render_to_response('myapp/editstruct.html', { 'form': form },
                              context_instance = RequestContext(request)
                              )

form:
class EditStructForm(forms.Form):
    varName = forms.CharField()
    varLabel = forms.CharField()
    varType = forms.CharField()
    vChoice1_text = forms.CharField()
    vChoice1_code = forms.IntegerField(required = False)
    vChoice1_score = forms.IntegerField(required = False)
    vChoice2_text = forms.CharField(required = False)
    vChoice2_code = forms.IntegerField(required = False)
    vChoice2_score = forms.IntegerField(required = False)
    vChoice3_text = forms.CharField(required = False)
    vChoice3_code = forms.IntegerField(required = False)
    vChoice3_score = forms.IntegerField(required = False)
    vChoice4_text = forms.CharField(required=False)
    vChoice4_code = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice4_score = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice5_text = forms.CharField(required=False)
    vChoice5_code = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice5_score = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice6_text = forms.CharField(required=False)
    vChoice6_code = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice6_score = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice7_text = forms.CharField(required=False)
    vChoice7_code = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice7_score = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice8_text = forms.CharField(required=False)
    vChoice8_code = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice8_score = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice9_text = forms.CharField(required=False)
    vChoice9_code = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice9_score = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice0_text = forms.CharField(required=False)
    vChoice0_code = forms.IntegerField(required=False)
    vChoice0_score = forms.IntegerField(required=False)

I entered:

varName : Q4aNet

varLabel:  Net for Q4a

varType:  Single

vChoice1_text: Satisfied (net)

vChoice1_code: 1

vChoice2_text: x

vChoice3_text: x

vChoice4_text: Dissatisfied (net)

vChoice4_code: 2

[This is a good example of how the for would be used]

When I submit the form, I get the error "vChoice1_score cannot be null."

I thought that required = False would allow that?

Am I doing something wrong here?

Cheers, Nigel
