I apologize for not thinking about it further before I asked for more
help. I specified only the field I want in the form when creating the
model formset as suggested above:
ForecastEntryFormSet = modelformset_factory(ForecastActualSum,
fields=('forecast', ), extra=0)
And then I accessed the instance in the Template using the following syntax:
<table border="1">
{% for form in formset.forms %}
{{ form.id }}
<tr>
<td>{{ form.instance.actual }}</td>
<td>{{ form.forecast }}</td>
<td>{{ form.instance.plan }}</td>
</tr>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
This gave me exactly what I wanted and when I submitted the form, it
saved only that field! Thank you for all of your help!
