Description (last modified by aki33524)

There are two reasons.

First, as you know, ModelForm can accept instance as keyword arguments.
I think that BaseModelFormSet should follow this. Current BaseModelFormSet support save(commit=False), which returns “instances”. But now, we cannot use it without INSERT in DataBase..

Second, Current BaseModelFormSet accepts “queryset” as keyword argument.
“queryset” can convert to “instances”, but “instances” cannot convert to “queryset”. I think that BaseModelFormSet should accept not “queryset” but “instances”.

For downward compatible, it would be difficult that “instances” replace with “queryset”. So I suggest adding “instances” argument to BaseModelFormSet init.
