My solution found. Example: class Parent(models.Model): name = models.CharField(maxlength=100 class Admin: pass class Child(models.Model): variable=models.CharField(maxlength=32) value=models.IntegerField() folks = models.ForeignKey(Parent, core=True, edit_line=models.Tabular) Bug: Django happy since you have a core=True in any child member. DB tables get created fine. Can create a Parent in the admin interface ... and stick in a couple children. But ==> no children ever get saved. Stick core=True in the other members, it still won't work. You have to remove core=True in the ForeignKey() member." defect closed contrib.admin dev normal fixed nfa-fixed edit_inline gary.wilson@… erob@… jesse.lovelace@… Accepted 1 1 1 0 0 0
