Hello,

First I know, this is for django developers, but I asked on django-users, 
stackoverflow, udemy etc and I never got an answered, so this is my last 
options, to ask the developers.

I checked the Django code for BaseFormset, 
modelform_factory,modelformset_factory,formset_factory etc but not 
everything is clear for me.

-----------------

I have a form with two inline formsets.
. 

At the HTML level Django use the hidden fields for the formset management, 
and use the prefix to know which fields are related to a formset.

Also it has ids in the html id, to group like in a virtual form the fields.


<input name="documents-0-document" id="id_documents-0-document" type="file"> 
<input name="documents-0-filename" class="vTextField" maxlength="255" 
id="id_documents-0-filename" type="text"> 
<input name="documents-0-DELETE" id="id_documents-0-DELETE" type="checkbox">



On retrieve by default I get the path to the file in a paragraph and the 
inputs (html elements) are empty.



 <p class="file-upload">Currently: 
<a href="/media/Test%20Insieme/documents/sdsasa7">Test 
Insieme/documents/sdsasa7</a><br>
<input name="documents-0-document" id="id_documents-0-document" type="file">
Change:
</p>




On Browse(upload a different file) Django knows to update the same record 
in the database. Similar for click on checkbox.


*How Django make the correlation between the paragraph that show the path, 
the html id of the element and what is in the database?*


I want to change the UI (make it dynamic with JavaScript, use button 
instead of checkbox for delete) and I want to understand how the mechanism 
is working because I need to do two very customize formsets.


Thank you!
