I am creating an example to learn more about using inline formsets with SessionWizard. Eventually, I want to integrate dynamic formsets in order to add and delete individual forms via the template before submitting. However, when data is absent from the second form, it fails to validate unlike like a regular ModelForm.
Is there a method within SessionWizard that needs to be overridden? Is it something that is inherently handled within Django?
Guidance and examples would be greatly appreciated.
models.py
class Parent(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=256)
def __unicode__(self):
return name
class Child(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=256)
parent = models.ForeignKey(Parent)
def __unicode__(self):
return name
urls.py
test_forms = [['parent', ParentForm],['child', ChildFormSet]]
urlpatterns = patterns('example.views',
url(r'^$', TestWizard.as_view(test_forms)),
)
forms.py
class ParentForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Parent
class ChildForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Child
exclude = ('parent',)
ChildFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Parent, Child, extra=1)
class TestWizard(SessionWizardView):
