Right, I don't know whether this is a bug or done on purpose ... It looks like it was done on purpose so I'd be happy to hear the experts on this. I'm using Django 1.3. I hope I got this right.
On line 752 of django.forms.models (development trunk), in the add_fields() method of BaseInlineFormSet it says: name = self.fk.name ... form.fields[name] = InlineForeignKeyField(self.instance, **kwargs) This is *after* all processing of 'fields=' and 'exclude=' kwargs has been done on the form. Consequently, for all inline form sets the foreign key field is always included. It is not possible to 'exclude=' it. Any opinions on why this should be so? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
