Comment (by djpretzel):
This has been broken for seven years, and partially fixed for two. As
someone new to Django who is trying to use inlines, it's frustrating that
right out of the box, if validation happens to fail, the user is left with
a bunch of added inline entries they have zero means of deleting.
This isn't a "New Feature", it's a bug. If the intention behind the
ability to add AND remove extra inlines prior to form submission is for
usability, then taking away that ability after validation fails isn't
consistent with that design goal.
Use case:
1. I spend 10-15 minutes working on a complex form entry.
2. I add a dozen associated inline addresses/relationships/whatevers via
the "add another" option.
3. I submit the form and hold my breath.
4. There's a validation error on one of the dozen
addresses/relationships/whatevers that I entered.
5. I realize I only needed 11, not 12, addresses/relationships/whatevers
6. My entire form submission is now fudged, since I can't remove the
single problem inline.... unless I am comfortable entering a bogus record
and deleting it afterwards, if I even have that ability.
7. Sad face.
Would love to see this fixed. It's one of a number of problems surrounding
inlines in the admin.
