If I send the user back to the form to correct some data, I'd like him to see already stripped data. For the moment I use my custom 'generic view' instead of create_update, and I'm passing optional 'preprocess_callable' to it if I want to do anything like that. But I consider it a hack, it's far from being clean solution. >Not really; that is one of the points at which you should be thinking of >writing your own views.

How is this supposed to be done with newforms?
