Hello again.
I tried this:
AsignacionItemFormset = formset_factory(AsignacionItemForm,
can_delete=True, extra=0)
initial_data = []
for item in initialdataquery:
initial_data.append({...})
# Now I append an extra item with the defaul initial data
initial_data.append({'asignacion_id':1})
formset = AsignacionItemFormset(initial=initial_data)
I still get the 'required field' error for the forms.
What I want to do here is let the user use the extra form to append a
new item using some default values but that should be optional.
