This is my first post and contribution. I hope I do it correctly. I dont know if it is a bug or a needed feature but here is the problem.
I use autocomplete_fields on a field in an admin.TabularInline, the field concerned is mandatory. When you choose a value with the autocomplete you cannot put back a blank value. This behavior is normal in standard admin view because the field is mandatory (null=False and blank=False). But in the case of validating a new row in a Inline admin form you are stuck. (see attached image) They are two workaroud: First refresh the page but you loose all the other modifications. The second put blank=True on the ForeignKey, this allow to put the field blank by showingup a cross next to the field. But now you can put blank on existing value and in standard admin view, then you will potentialy get the RelatedObjectDoesNotExist exception. I see three solutions Copy the behavior of the standard select: even if blank=False, you can put a blank value on inline fields. Allow blank value only for new row when blank=False Or (dirty) showing up the delete checkbox for new row. If a new form in a formset as the Delete value true, just ignore it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
