#25431 closed Bug (fixed)

ModelFormset regression in object clean() accessing a FK

Reported by: Claude Paroz Owned by: nobody
Component: Forms Version: 1.8
Severity: Release blocker Keywords: regression
Cc: Triage Stage: Ready for checkin
Has patch: yes Needs documentation: no

Description

When a ModelForm with an inline formset is validated (at least when all objects are new), the inline instances are constructed without the link to their parent model, because the fk field is excluded from the instance construction (see BaseModelForm._post_clean).

Like #25349, this regression is probably caused by 45e049937d2564d11035827ca9a9221b86215e45/#13776.

Just apply that patch to reproduce the problem in Django's test suite:

  • tests/model_formsets/models.py 

    diff --git a/tests/model_formsets/models.py b/tests/model_formsets/models.py
index df6a687..7b7337f 100644
    a b class Book(models.Model):  
    3737    def __str__(self):
    3838        return self.title
    3939
     40    def clean(self):
     41        # Ensure author is always accessible in clean method
     42        assert self.author.name is not None
     43

Has patch: set

If the patch gets approved, I'd like to tentatively backport this to 1.8.

In 65a1055:

Fixed #25431 -- Readded inline foreign keys to modelformset instances

Too much field exclusions in form's construct_instance() in _post_clean()
could lead to some unexpected missing ForeignKey values.
Fixes a regression from 45e049937. Refs #13776.
