required is not propagated on children

[j-san]

example:

class StuffSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
  children = RecursiveField(many=True, required=False, allow_null=True)

works fine if I send:

{...}

but if I send children, children of children are required:

{
  "children": [
    {...},
    {...}
  ]
}

// response:
{
  "children":[
    {"children":["This field may not be null."]},
    {"children":["This field may not be null."]}
  ]
}

And finally works if I send empty children of children:

{
  "children": [
    {..., "children": []},
    {..., "children": []}
  ]
}

Seems to work fine. What version of django/django-rest-framework are you using?

closing for now. Reopen the ticket if you can't figure it out.
