The documentation on FormSets at
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/forms/formsets/ lists
incomplete sample code to determine whether the formset has erorrs in
clean().
The listing:
{{{
>>> class BaseArticleFormSet(BaseFormSet):
... def clean(self):
... """Checks that no two articles have the same title."""
... if any(self.errors):
... # Don't bother validating the formset unless each form is
valid on its own
... return
}}}
This check is not complete, the full_clean method calls form.errors on all
forms in the formset at r349, even on forms that are to be removed. This
results in self.errors containing errors for forms that are to be deleted.
However, FormSet.is_valid ignores errors in forms that are to be removed.
The result is that the any(self.errors) snippet returns True, even if only
removed forms contain errors.
