Description
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-clean-on-an-inlineformset
It looks like there is a somewhat relevant piece of information missing from this section. It leaves out the fact that you also must specify which formset to use when creating your inlineformset in the view:
Currently:
"See Overriding clean() on a ModelFormSet, but subclass BaseInlineFormSet rather than BaseModelFormSet."
Suggestion:
"See Overriding clean() on a ModelFormSet, but subclass BaseInlineFormSet rather than BaseModelFormSet. You must also specify which formset to use when creating your inlineformset in your view:"
from django.forms.models import inlineformset_factory
BookFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Author, Book, formset= MyInlineFormSet)
author = Author.objects.get(name=u'Mike Royko')
formset = BookFormSet(instance=author)
