Example:
{{{
from django import forms, models
class MyModel(forms.Model):
active = BooleanField()
name = CharField(max_length=64, blank=True, null=True)
def all_required(field, **kwargs):
formfield = field.formfield(**kwargs)
formfield.required = True
return formfield
class MyForm(models.ModelForm):
formfield_callback = all_required
class Meta:
model = MyModel
formfield_callback = all_required
FactoryForm = forms.modelform_factory(MyModel, form=MyForm)
}}}
The expected behavior would be that the FactoryForm uses the
formfield_callback specified in the Meta attribute of MyForm and that
therefore the name-field would be required in both the FactoryForm and
MyForm. However, under the current behavior of modelform_factory the
formfield_callback is overwritten (with the default argument None) before
the new class is constructed and in FactoryForm the name-field is not
required.
I believe this is a bug, because this behavior has been observed before in
Ticket [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18573 #18573] in Django 1.3.
The test that was proposed there was incorrect, because under the expected
behavior the callback should have been called four times not two times as
was asserted. (I believe this test has been removed from version 2,
because I find no equivalent test in tests/model_formsets_regress.)

* cc: Claude Paroz (added)
* type: Bug => New feature
Comment:
I was always the impression that `formfield_callback` was solely an
allowed kwarg of the `modelform_factory` function and its friends.
> I believe this test has been removed from version 2, because I find no
equivalent test in tests/model_formsets_regress.
From what I can see the patch from #18573 was never committed and thus
nothing was actually removed over the years.
Given
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/3b1cb78063466e996cbb042e44aadfac30df73fa/tests/model_forms/tests.py#L2820
no tests exists for this behavior] and that
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/search/?q=formfield_callback it's
not documented] I'll change this bug report to a feature request. That
seems like a really niche use case but since I don't use Django forms much
myself nowadays I'll let other folks chime in.

Comment:
I agree with Simon that it's really niche and
`ModelForm.Meta.formfield_callback` has never been a documented and
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/f386454d1302b66d0eb331ed0ae9e4811e2f3a15/django/forms/models.py#L195-L205
supported feature]. Nevertheless, we should support it for consistency
with other `Meta` options (this can also simplify fix for #24974)
