Description

Adding an object and several related objects at once with manipulators isn't documented. I know this functionality exists as it is used in the admin. Trying to workaround this by using multiple manipulators generates invalid html (multiple html nodes can't have the same id) and fills in the form incorrectly (the values in the last object's fields are used in all of them).

Triage Stage: UnreviewedDesign decision needed

I'm not sure if the admin code that does this is very portable, and probably wouldn't be worth documenting for oldforms. Maybe someone with more familiarity with newforms can state whether newforms will make this easy enough that it should be documented for end users to take advantage of.

Changing stage to accepted; newforms-admin should add capabilities for doing this, but it will still need documentation.

Closing, because manipulators are gone.
