Any suggestions?
Ohm yeah.. that's true. Sorry, I wasn't concentrating when I wrote my initial reply. You have two (well three, but two right now) choices here that I can think of immediately: (1) Don't use edit inline (since you can't), but use the "+" link that appears next to a standard many-to-many selection box to add new items. (2) Manually construct the many-to-many relation by creating a model with two ForeignKey fields that link to "style" and "sdetails" (dude! Use capitals for your class names like the rest of the world so that they stand out in text!) and edit that intermediate model in the Admin. You can then put edit_inline on the two fields. I made that work for a client that needed that type of editing and it was acceptable as a quick way to get something working. The mysterious third option is find some hack that works today and look forward eagerly to the newforms-admin branch, because there are a lot more customisability hooks in that code, so things like this should be possible (although you will have to read Python code to work out all the little details). Alternatively, don't get hung up on using the admin app for entering this particular set of data. Knock up a custom form to do it.
