Hi Anthony,

I was going through your video series on formset and it is well explanatory. So thank you for this.

One thing I was facing a problem with inlineform factory is that
How to create a parent model entry and multiple child model entries at the same time. I mean keeping instance=None

[godspower_eze]

Please could you make a video on how to user modelforms inside of inlineformset factory and how to display errors while using them

[ericxls]

This is great, can you add a button to add extra fields (rather than refreshing the page)…

[rezasadeghi]

Hi Anthony, thanks for the great video.
I was wondering, I have a use-case where to the same parent model I'd want to choose from multiple models (and the related forms).

As an example related to this video would be:
- you pick the Programmer as a parent the same way as is here (/1, /2...etc)
- next in a drop-down box you'd choose what form-set to show : Languages AND / OR Hobbies
- depending on that choice you'd have the appropriate form displayed
And the rest of the saving logic I guess would be the same.
Could this be done with model or inline formsets?
Thanks a lot.

This was great! just a quick question, so I am using django all auth for user registeration how can I take the email from that to use as a primary key for my other model ? The other model has the data before the user sign up and verifies.

I want to use {% for f in formset %} {{ f.name }} {% endfor %}
['ManagementForm data is missing or has been tampered with']

hey...How to use Inlineformset factory with Class based view....

[paulonzervoulakus]

Just a simple question. Can you explain the formset using modelformset_factory in template it added a single blank inputfield, but using inlineformset_factory it added 3 blank inputfield. what is the usecase for both as the modelformset_factory is having 1 extra blank inputfield and the other one has 3 extra blank inputfield

[alekszmaalmen]

Hi=) Your tutorial relies an existing model of Programmer. And if i wanna render a blank inlineformset_factory form, if i'm gonna create a programmer and specify all his languages in a single form as an inlineformset_factory form?

[ManishJindalmanisism]

hi Anthony. I have a query here. In a project in my organization we are using inlines in admin.py only. I can see two inlines for the main Model Author - books and articles. Both books and articles model have parent child relationship with Author. Now in admin.py we are using formset for books (extending baseinlineformset) and using object of class made by extending BaseInlineFormset in BooksTabularInline. But for Articles we are simply using ArticlesTabularInline. We are not using formset at all. Why this distinction? Can you please clarify where to use formset in admin.py ? What is advantage of using fomset over simple tabularinlines? I will be happy to share admin.py source code if my question is not clear

[alexissilva]

thank you, your tutorial is awesome :)
