Changing the ``form``
---------------------
By default, when you use ``modelformset_factory``, a model form will
be created using :func:`~django.forms.models.modelform_factory`.
Often, it can be useful to specify a custom model form. For example,
you can create a custom model form that has custom validation::
class AuthorForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Author
fields = ('name', 'title')
def clean_name(self):
# custom validation for the name field
...
Then, pass your model form to the factory function::
AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author, form=AuthorForm)
It is not always necessary to define a custom model form. The
``modelformset_factory`` function has several arguments which are
passed through to ``modelform_factory``, which are described below.
