Following the example as it is now, the page reload after filling in one of the extra forms and saving will have one fewer than the specified number of extra forms. Similarly, the page reload after marking a bound form for deletion and saving will still have that just-deleted form present in the formset. Moving the formset variable assignment outside of and after the ""if request.method == ""POST"":"" block (and thus getting rid of the ""else:"" block) fixes this problem. The entire corrected sample code would be as such: {{{ def manage_books(request, author_id): author = Author.objects.get(pk=author_id) BookInlineFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Author, Book) if request.method == ""POST"": formset = BookInlineFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=author) if formset.is_valid(): formset.save() # Do something. formset = BookInlineFormSet(instance=author) return render_to_response(""manage_books.html"", { ""formset"": formset, }) }}} ",Bug,closed,Documentation,1.2,Normal,fixed,,,Accepted,0,0,0,0,0,0
