Prevent html5 "required" attribute on Django required form fields

Question

I've got a Django form with required fields, but I don't want them to render with the html required attribute because I want to control this from Javascript.

How can I make the form render without the required attribute, while still being validated required server-side.

On the form, set

use_required_attribute = False

See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/api/#django.forms.Form.use_required_attribute
