django inline_formset - form.empty_permitted = Fal

问题:

I have two models - Invoice and InvoiceItem.

I have the following formset.

class InvoiceItemFormSet(forms.BaseInlineFormSet):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(InvoiceItemFormSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        for form in self.forms:
            form.empty_permitted = False

    def clean(self):
        cleaned_data=super(InvoiceItemFormSet, self).clean()
        print('inside form.clean')

Inside my CreateViw, I have the following code for the formset.

ItemInlineFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Invoice, 
InvoiceItem, form=InvoiceItemForm, extra=1,
can_delete=False,validate_min=True, min_num=1,
formset=InvoiceItemFormSet)

However, when I press the Submit button, even if all (two) forms of the formset are empty, the parent form gets submitted.

What I'm missing here?

Thanks.

Instead of using

for form in self.forms:
        form.empty_permitted = False

I added

def clean(self):
    if self.has_changed() == False:
        raise forms.ValidationError('Please add at least one item to the invoice.')

to the formset and the following to the form_valid() of the CreateView

if item_formset.is_valid() == False:
    return self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(form=form,item_formset=item_formset ))
