@ -80,6 +80,11 @@ There are now a total of three forms showing above. One for the initial data
that was passed in and two extra forms. Also note that we are passing in a
list of dictionaries as the initial data.
If you use an ``initial`` for displaying a formset, you should pass the same
``initial`` when processing that formset's submission so that the formset can
detect which forms were changed by the user. For example, you might have
something like: ``ArticleFormSet(request.POST, initial=[...])``.
