Unable to save empty list on a EmbeddedDocumentListField

[last-partizan]

We're using django-like blank=True, null=True, and then setting required = not blank.
So, your required=False gets ignored here.

What do you think we chould raise error if user using required or setting blank/null from required?

Thanks, didn't realise the different parameters there, did I miss the documentation or it's underway?

IMHO, I think it's enough to put examples in the future documentation, instead of raising an error. But I think we should perhaps put blank=True as a default, because ListField is by default an empty list. This will also tally with the default Required=False characteristic of the Django models.

What do you think?

Thanks for maintaining the framework though, you rock.

AFAIK django doesn't have required at all, that's mongoengine stuff.

so, i've added this little note: https://github.com/MongoEngine/django-mongoengine#fields-notes

Ahh, you're right. required=False is the mongoengine's default for field.

That note should do for now.

Thanks again!
