I have verified that that issue exists against the master branch of Django REST framework.
I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
This is not a usage question. (Those should be directed to the discussion group instead.)
This cannot be dealt with as a third party library. (We prefer new functionality to be in the form of third party libraries where possible.)
I have reduced the issue to the simplest possible case.
I have included a failing test as a pull request. (If you are unable to do so we can still accept the issue.)

from django.db import models

class TestModel(models.Model): flag = models.BooleanField() integer = models.IntegerField()

from rest_framework import serializers from .models import TestModel

class TestSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

class Meta:
    model = TestModel
    fields = 'flag', 'integer'

from .models import TestModel from .serializers import TestSerializer

serializer = TestSerializer() print(repr(serializer))

it shows:

TestSerializer(): flag = BooleanField(required=False) integer = IntegerField()

I am expecting flag = BooleanField()

flag is set to required=False.
