Let me comment in this ticket. I would say, the wording is really unclear:
{{{
If you use an ``initial`` for displaying a formset, you should pass the
same
``initial`` when processing that formset's submission so that the formset
can
detect which forms were changed by the user. For example, you might have
something like: ``ArticleFormSet(request.POST, initial=[...])``.
}}}
1. If one passes initial, it does not matter that s/he should pass the
same initial again. Maybe one wants just show initial data.
2. To the best of my ability the only case I can imagine when one needs
both initial and data is for has_changed() method. But you are writing
documentation for "Using initial data with a formset" section. Whereas
has_changed() is in "Formset validation" section (by the way, illustrated
very badly).
