I am trying to get validation errors to appear on my web page when using an
inlineformset_factory. I have a main form called PersonalInformation form
and 3 inline forms (Relative, PositionHeld and Phone). I am receiving the
main form errors on my page, but I can't get the 3 inline forms to display
the errors.
Do I need to write custom errors?
Can anyone help? I have searched on Google and tried several different
things with no luck.
Thanks.
