Thanks Russ. I had seen that, but documentation was scarce and I wanted a faster method (no template writing, django admin css and templates are good enough for my app, no need to recode).
It took me a little while, but I've now switched completely to to generic::create_object(). Compared to admin::add_stage(), here are the issues that I faced: - doesn't work out of the box, needs a template and css (can be quite long to create) - related objects a little difficult to bolt-in - error handling/input validation code needs to be sprinkled across the template AFAICT - no support for "Cancel", "Save and continue editing" and "Save and add another" but otherwise, works great, lots of flexibility, especially related objects can be integrated at a much lower level of granularity once. Thanks again, JJ.
