It is here to provide a work-around to help people running into a similar case. If you have a model which is editted through a different model using edit_inline like: {{{ #!python class Article(models.Model): title = models.CharField('Title of article', max_length=20, blank=False) class Author(models.Model): article = models.ForeignKey(Article, edit_inline=models.TABULAR) first_name = models.CharField('First name of editor', max_length=20, blank=False, core=True) }}} Then adding a new article and not filling in the Author name generates a !ValidationError. But because models.TABULAR is used the !ValidationError will not show, thus making it hard for users to correct their errors. This problem will be fixed in newforms-admin. But as a work around one can add the following (adapted) edit_inline_tabular.html to their templates/admin directory (the directory that overrides the templates provided by contrib.admin itself). Now validation errors will show. {{{ #!python {% load admin_modify %}

{{ bound_related_object.relation.opts.verbose_name_plural|capfirst }}

{% for fw in bound_related_object.field_wrapper_list %} {% if fw.needs_header %} {{ fw.field.verbose_name|capfirst }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% for fcw in bound_related_object.form_field_collection_wrappers %} {% if change %}{% if original_row_needed %} {% if fcw.obj.original %} {% endif %} {% endif %}{% endif %} {% if fcw.obj.errors %} {% endif %} {% for bound_field in fcw.bound_fields %} {% if not bound_field.hidden %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% if bound_related_object.show_url %}{% endif %} {% endfor %}
{{ fcw.obj.original }}
{{ fcw.obj.html_combined_error_list }}
{{ bound_field.html_error_list }} {% field_widget bound_field %} {% if fcw.obj.original %}View on site{% endif %}
{% for fcw in bound_related_object.form_field_collection_wrappers %} {% for bound_field in fcw.bound_fields %} {% if bound_field.hidden %} {% field_widget bound_field %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% endfor %}
