No, you're not missing the point - that is exactly what model formsets are for. But you haven't read the documentation very closely: InlineFormsets are meant for editing only those elements that are related via ForeignKey to a specific object, so it is that related object that you pass to the formset via the `instance` parameter. The documentation shows this clearly: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/#inline-formsets If you want to edit the elements of a queryset that aren't necessarily all related to the same object, you just use a standard ModelFormset, which does take a `queryset` argument - again, as shown in the docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/#using-a-custom-queryset -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
