Django Formset.is_valid() failing for extra forms

Question

In my Django application application I have a formset that is created from a simple (not-model) form, with the extra=1 (to allow javasript to add more forms later on).

Answer 1

This is not the usual behavior of formsets. Formsets pass empty_permitted=True to all "extra" forms, and a form with empty_permitted that hasn't been modified should always pass validation. Note that this works just fine in the Django admin (if you use inlines).

You must be doing something else in your code that is breaking this behavior somewhere. Post the full code of the relevant form?
