Foreign key error message in WTForms validation

See original GitHub issue

When I try to post a new object with foreign key field that doesn’t match to any object in the database, I get the same message, as when I don’t pass this field at all:

{
   "region": [
     "This field is required."
   ]
}

It looks like a bug.

They are related, but I am not sure that this is the same case.

In the case of required param with wrong foreign key validation fails as expected but the error message is incorrect. In the case of an optional param, validation succeeds.

But maybe Exception on DoesNotExist in the get_model() will fix both cases, I don’t know.

Is this the same as the issue you just opened, #46 ? Are they related?
