I have a specific use case where I need null instead of the empty string
in the database when some text fields passing through a form are not
filled in.
This works fine for CharFields, but I recently discovered that it doesn't
for TextFields. For TextFields they always turn out as the empty string.
It looks like CharField has this specific support for setting empty_value
= None in .formfield(), but TextField does not:
{{{
if self.null and not
connection.features.interprets_empty_strings_as_nulls:
defaults["empty_value"] = None
}}}
I would expect them to behave the same.
