Hey Marcos, In the clean() method of my ClipModelForm class I couldn't manage how to reach the ClipDescriptions that are coming from the inline ClipDescriptionInline. I think I can't validate there. I spent the whole day trying and I couldn't fix. Any help would be very handy!
Thanks for your atention.
