Description:

I am dealing with a complex form that attaches two layout helpers to one form as parts of the form are rendered in two different locations. Unfortunately, there is currently no option to disable the non_field_errors on its own (only all field errors using form_show_errors). That is why these non_field_errors are rendered twice in this case (on top of each form helper). I must overwrite the whole form template to disable the "non_field_errors" on one of these layouts.

Wouldn't something like form_show_non_field_errors be a good addition to django_crispy_forms? It would also help if the non_field_errors should be rendered in a completely different location (and not just at the top of the form).

Hi @medihack -- sounds reasonable to me.

Would you be able to work on a PR for this?

[medihack]

Sure, but it will take some time. Must it also be supported in all template packs?

[smithdc1]

I think one would be amazing. Then we can open issues on the other projects linking to an example of the changes required.

Alright, I will look into it when I have some time left and implement it for the bootstrap (at least bootstrap5) pack.
