Comment:
I had a similar question open on StackOverflow
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15330490/django-clean-field-is-not-
being-called-for-updates-on-admin-inline-form). It was answered by
pointing to
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin.form),
which implies the answer: Since no form is specified, a model will be
used. However, if I specify the form, but ''not'' the model, I get a
{{{'model' is required attribute of 'ModelAdmin.inlines[0]'}}}.
Also, if form defaults to ModelForm, then it is not obvious that
ModelForm.clean_myfield() will not be called and only Model.clean() will
be called.
It would be much clearer if there were an Admin Inline example where both
AdminInline.model and AdminInline.form were defined for the same class.
The '''best''' solution would be to have a detailed example for the Admin
validation precedence (including Inlines) similar to what is described for
the model validation.
