Thanks. That's not quite what I need though because it looks like the IDs for his records are entered free-form in a single text field and then processed manually. What I need is exactly what the admin interface does for "edit_inline" records. I have a form with multiple records (either being added or edited) that all have the same parent object. The parent object already exists regardless of whether I'm adding or editing the related "edit_inline" records. I think I can use a ChangeManipulator for the parent object type to add or edit the child records but I'm not sure how to access these related objects in the ChangeManipulator, either in my views.py or in my template file.
