Admin issues with inlines

[Luca Corti]

Hello,

I have an issue with the admin and inlines for related models. When hitting save on a model editing page I get this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ValidationError: [u'I dati del ManagementForm sono mancanti oppure sono stati manomessi’]


The error message in Italian reads “ManagementForm data is missing or has been tampered with”.

I also noticed the POST request contains an extra part with __prefix__ in names and empty id which looks suspicious:

A stack overflow post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11546245/django-inline-admin-formset-extra-entry-has-prefix-instead-of-number)
suggests display: none is not picked up from forms.css (empty-form class) but in my case it seems it is. I’m looking at Chrome Developer Tools.

My inlines are defined as:

class Inline(admin.TabularInline):
model = Model
show_change_link = True
can_delete = False
extra = 0
fields = [‘property1', ‘property2']
readonly_fields = [‘property1', ‘property2']

thanks
