Comment:
Err, of course I meant "explicitly setting 'form' to BaseModelForm" and
not "explicitly setting 'form' to BaseModelAdmin".
Replying to [ticket:13002 st...@typograaf.be]:
> While messing around a bit with admin customization, I noticed that the
form option in an InlineModelAdmin actually defaults to ModelForm, and not
BaseModelForm as the documentation mentions. Explicitly setting 'form' to
BaseModelAdmin gives rise to assorted errors in the admin (e.g. "... has
no attribute _meta ...") whereas setting it to ModelForm works without a
hitch, which leads me to believe that there is no magic going on and that
this is just a little factual error in the docs.
