Actually I don't think your expectations were unreasonable, I think they were natural given the unfortunately tight coupling between this admin option and model definition, plus the fact that the option has nothing in its name to indicate it is admin-specific. As for how to do it in general, sorry I can't help there (though I got the impression you had found a way to do it?). My own app has no need of forms, so it is an area I know very little about. I don't think you misunderstood the documentation either. Building stuff with oldforms is discouraged, since they are going away. But newfoms is still work-in-progress, so doc is not complete and some things may not be entirely worked out. Such is the way with volunteer projects.
