The first step of control over the formset is by providing the form class type to be used in the formset. The formset then constructs each form in turn, passing in any posted data or files, any supplied initial arguments for that form, the auto_id for the form and the form prefix. If you need to add extra fields to the form from the fieldset context, having created the form as described, the formset then calls self.add_fields(form, i), where i is the numerical index of the form. This allows you to provide any number of additional extra fields to the form. You can customise the behaviour of the formset by providing a different BaseFormSet to the formset factory.
