I've been down this road and I will say that although you can modify

complex that just writing your own CRUD (which newforms makes a
delight).

Hi there,
I'm overriding an admin template (but doubt uf that is particularly
relevent) and am not sure why the following behaviour occurs.
I've modified the line:
{% if inline_admin_form.original %}{{ inline_admin_form.original }}{%

to be:
{% if inline_admin_form.original

Although I think this view is mostly true at the moment I have a
feeling that it will change in the near future.
The admin pages are currently fairly customisable and newforms-admin
expands this capability extensively.

Django templates use the dot syntax for several purposes: object
