The Django admin site page (./en/1.5/ref/contrib/admin) should mention
something specific about inline form validation regarding where to put
clean() code.
It seems that the only way I was able to clean a field changed as part of
an admin inline form was in the Model.clean() method. I could not find a
place where using clean_myfield() method worked as all for admin inline
forms. Note the inline was not part of a formset, as it had a
OneToOneField relationship to the main form.
This is not obvious in the documentation as the Model page mentions
clean() and clean_field() but nothing about inlines. The documentation on
Inlines mentions validation, but nothing on putting the code in the
Model.clean(). Perhaps, also a warning that clean_field() is not run for
admin inline form updates.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken about validation of inline forms within
the Admin interface.
Regards, Chris
