Hi, PURPOSE: Mimic the admin "inline" functionality (with ForeignKeyrelationships) in one of my own forms without using Javascript (because I don't know it)
My Solution: Inline Formset via inline_formset() However, - inline_formset() does not accept initial as an argument - This is after the form has been submitted once and I want to create new forms in the formsets while still keeping the data already entered, waiting to be edited I am using the following workaround in the mean time: (the entire view may be found here: http://dpaste.com/hold/555463/) elif 'more_items' in request.POST: order = form.save(commit=False) # models.Order instances = formset.save(commit=False) # models.OrderItem(s) for instance in instances: initial_data.append({'item': instance.item, 'quantity_requested': instance.quantity_requested, } ) formset = OrderFormset() #created via inline_formset() for subform, data in zip(formset.forms, initial_data): subform.initial = data # render_to_response.... The problem is, this limits me to a total number of forms as defined in the extra field passed to inline_formset(). Any improvements or totally new solutions are welcome!
