Thanks, that works very well - but as you mentioned is certainly not intuitive.
Can you use a similar technique to prepopulate fields? My use case is this:- I want to display an INLINE formset. Though records which already exist I want to display but make certain fields uneditable Using the "Extra" I want to give the adminstrator the ability to add an inline record, but restrict certain fields, by making sure that they are prepopulated with data, which are also uneditable.
