[Fixed]-Django model choice not raising error for an invalid choice

✅

The choices option is only for pre-populating of form drop down fields; it does not enforce any validation:

If this is given, the default form widget will be a select box with
these choices instead of the standard text field.

UPDATE

Since django 2.1, setting choices does raise validation errors:

If choices are given, they’re enforced by model validation and the default form widget will be a select box with these choices instead of the standard text field.

Note that, CustomFieldType.objects.create is not enough. You need to do something like a model_instance.full_clean() to raise the error. Just as mentioned in the model validation docs

I faced same problem, and I solved it by using save() method instead of create() method, and you must use full_clean() before it. like this:

x = "your model name"()
x."field" = "value"
.
.
.
"your model name".full_clean(self = x)
"your model name".save(self = x)
