Comment (by Manav Agarwal):
Considering the model and admin as defined below.
**models.py**
{{{
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
class Book(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(Author, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
}}}
**admin.py**
{{{
class BookInline(admin.StackedInline):
model = Book
class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [
BookInline,
]
admin.site.register(Author, AuthorAdmin)
}}}
Is it a good idea to pass the initial vales of bookinline fields by using
get request in such a way like
{{{
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/polls/author/add/?name=Author_name&book_1_name=book1_name_value&book_2_name=book2_name_value
}}}
**Example:**
{{{
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/polls/author/add/?name=william_shakespeare&book_1_name=Hamlet&book_2_name=Romeo_and_Juliet
}}}
Please update me if the idea seems fine so that I may create a PR in order
to solve the issue.
