MongoEngine changing default parameter "required" value

I wonder if there is a possibility of changing default value of the "required" parameter for all fields.

Almost all the fields of my models are required and so I have to put the parameter required=True for almost all the fields, it's a little painful.

You can implement your own Field classes. For example:

from mongoengine import fields


class StringField(fields.StringField):
    def __init__(self, regex=None, max_length=None, min_length=None, default=True, **kwargs):
        super(StringField, self).__init__(regex, max_length, min_length, default=default, **kwargs)

That will allow you to have a StringField class that has the default value of required set to True. Unfortunately you have to do that for every Field class that you use.
