I\'m using Django\'s TabularInline admin view to edit category objects related to a main topic object, as shown here:

I thought I'd chime in that editing your template is going to be the easiest.

I tried iterating over the formsets in render_change_form but unfortunately, the major problem is that InlineAdminForms are constructed dynamically upon iteration in the template so you can't just set inlineadminform.original = None or modify the context.

They don't even exist until assigned a variable in the template.

# InlineAdminFormset
def __iter__(self):
    for form, original in zip(self.formset.initial_forms, self.formset.get_queryset()):
        yield InlineAdminForm(self.formset, form, self.fieldsets,
            self.opts.prepopulated_fields, original, self.readonly_fields,
            model_admin=self.model_admin)

and the only easily non-hackishly accessible hook we have there is overriding InlineAdminFormset.formset.get_queryset() which breaks other things.

Can I share some code nobody should ever really look at but works and makes me crack up laughing? I owe you one payne. Hope I can get to sleep tonight.
