                            <button type="submit" class="dsnupload">
                                <i class="large material-icons" style="font-size: 50pt; margin-top: 10px;">audiotrack</i>

                            </button>
                          </form>

form.py :

from django import forms

class Audio_store(forms.Form):
    record=forms.FileField(widget=forms.FileInput(attrs={'style': 'width: 300px;', 'class': 'form-control'}))

views.py :

def homepage(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = Audio_store(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['record'])
        return render(request, "homepage.html", {'form': form})
    else:
          return render(request, "homepage.html")

at the second orange button on the left (insert file audio) there's text :

record :

this field is required.

i want to remove that text, please help me.

Your form doesn't render because you aren't pass it in the context in case of a GET request (The else block). — Abdul Aziz Barkat, May 18 '22 at 16:39
Hello @Monana try to return this line `return render(request, "homepage.html", {'form': form})` inside your else block instead of this `return render(request, "homepage.html")` — Ankit Tiwari, May 18 '22 at 17:36
error, UnboundLocalError at / local variable 'form' referenced before assignment. Request Method: GET @AnkitTiwari how to change to POST? — Monana, May 19 '22 at 06:34

I'll suggest you to read about python variable scopes

def homepage(request):
    form = Audio_store()
    if request.method == "POST":
       form = Audio_store(request.POST, request.FILES)
       if form.is_valid():
          handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['record'])
          return redirect("your_sccess_url")
    return render(request, "homepage.html", {'form': form})

if your form valid it's good practice to redirect user to new page
