Thanks for your response, Matthew, however the problem that I am
experiencing is with the inline fields not returning an error message. In
the form.py file, self does not have the inline fields available to return
an error when performing a check on the value.
For example: for phone_formset, I need to write an error check that says if
a phone type is selected, then a phone number must be entered.
What should the code look like and where should it be included?
