I believe max_num limits the total number of forms, not the empty forms, or else the rest of the documentation on the page and the example do not make sense. Also, right after the example they write: ""If the value of max_num is greater than the number of existing objects, up to extra additional blank forms will be added to the formset, so long as the total number of forms does not exceed max_num."" They mention ""objects"". But if a newcomer to Django is reading the documentation on forms from one end to the other, he will not know what is meant by objects, when he hasnt yet read about ModelForms. I don't know how to deal with this. Maybe the ModelForm section could come before FormSet, but I have not thought that through.
