Description

Similar symptoms to #10622, the admin site raises an exception where the model explicity defines a parent_link and list_editable is set in the model's admin.

I have attached a regression test that shows this in action.

A couple of extra bits of potentially useful information:

  1. exception appears whether or not parent_link is set as a primary_key.
  1. looking at line 950 of django/contrib/admin/options.py:
        elif self.list_editable:
            FormSet = self.get_changelist_formset(request)
            formset = cl.formset = FormSet(queryset=cl.result_list)
    

The FormSet here looks ok (parent_link and non-parent_link version appear to be the same), but each of the forms in formset.forms is missing the field for the primary key. The result_list is of course the same with or without parent_link.

I find this strange because it appears to use the (no doubt well-tested) generic factory functions from forms.models.

I don't know the internal django code well enough to give a useful opinion here, but this is what I was able to observe.

I probably should have given my regression test a more descriptive title and a docstring, eg:

    def test_inheritance_parent_link(self):
        " Ensure that the admin list_editable view works for models with parent_link. "
