This is provided as a new "validate_max" formset_factory option defaulting to False, since the non-validating behavior of max_num is longstanding, and there is certainly code relying on it. (In fact, even the Django admin relies on it for the case where there are more existing inlines than the given max_num). It may be that at some point we want to deprecate validate_max=False and eventually remove the option, but this commit takes no steps in that direction. This also fixes the DoS-prevention absolute_max enforcement so that it causes a form validation error rather than an IndexError, and ensures that absolute_max is always 1000 more than max_num, to prevent surprising changes in behavior with max_num close to absolute_max. Lastly, this commit fixes the previous inconsistency between a regular formset and a model formset in the precedence of max_num and initial data. Previously in a regular formset, if the provided initial data was longer than max_num, it was truncated; in a model formset, all initial forms would be displayed regardless of max_num. Now regular formsets are the same as model formsets; all initial forms are displayed, even if more than max_num. (But if validate_max is True, submitting these forms will result in a "too many forms" validation error!) This combination of behaviors was chosen to keep the max_num validation simple and consistent, and avoid silent data loss due to truncation of initial data. Thanks to Preston for discussion of the design choices.
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out. All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/. If you're just getting started, here's how we recommend you read the docs: * First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django. * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt, docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.). * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/howto/deployment/index.txt for instructions. * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics) next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details. * See docs/README for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs. Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket here: http://code.djangoproject.com/newticket To get more help: * Join the #django channel on irc.freenode.net. Lots of helpful people hang out there. Read the archives at http://django-irc-logs.com/. * Join the django-users mailing list, or read the archives, at http://groups.google.com/group/django-users. To contribute to Django: * Check out http://www.djangoproject.com/community/ for information about getting involved. To run Django's test suite: * Follow the instructions in the "Unit tests" section of docs/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests.txt, published online at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/#running-the-unit-tests
