Comment (by candlerb):
The use case is to be able to make multiple clones of an existing model,
each slightly different. It's painful if you have to keep re-locating the
just-saved model in the changelist.
"continue editing" is arguably orthogonal to "save / save as new" - but I
don't want four buttons `:-)`
Suggestion: permit `_continue` as a separate form field. That is, the
posted data could contain both `_saveasnew` ''and'' `_continue`. You could
then add `_continue` as a hidden field (for fixed behaviour) or a
checkbox.
For this to work, we just need to ensure that both flags are honoured if
they are both present in the view code. It should be backwards-compatible,
since `_continue` can also be a submit button.
I would like to be able to control this from the `ModelAdmin` without
having to write my own `submit_line` though. e.g.
{{{
save_as = True
continue_editing = False / True / 'ask' # ???
}}}
