Hi,
Currently, Django has StackedInline and TabularInline.
TabularInlines work very well if you have many related models with few and
simple fields.
StackedInlies work very well if you have few related models with more and
bigger fields.
But when you have related models with a lot of required fields, and you
have a lot of relations, those two UI are not practical.
What about adding a third Inline subclass, which could be called
"PopupInline".
It would look much like the tabular inline, but all the fields would be
readonly, and adding and editing relations would happen in a popup.
I guess we could reuse some code used for RelatedWidgets, where the same
thing happen : you can edit a relation in a popup, and when you finish,
you're back to the main form, which is dynamically updated.
I think it would be quite consistent with the rest of django admin, both
in terms of user experience and in terms of code logic.
It also replace nested inlines in some cases (which aren't supported yet,
and are probably much more complex to implement).
Let me know what you think !
Olivier
