#34689 closed New feature (duplicate)

Simplify usage of InlineFormSet in Class-based generic views

Reported by: CyberFox001 Owned by: nobody

Description

When you have 2 models, A and B, with B linked to A with a ForeignKey, you sometimes want to let user edit an instance of A with its linked B instances.

With django.contrib.admin you can easilly do that with ModelAdmin and StackedInline, or other inline, classes.

But not with Class-based generic views like CreateView and UpdateView.

In this case, if I understand it correctly, you need to override get_context_data() and form_valid() to manage the InlineFormSet.

It would be nice if we have a more easy way to do it. Something similar to what we have in ModelAdmin ?

IMO, yes, however you can follow triaging guidelines with regards to wontfix tickets and take this to the mailing list or the Django Forum.
