Django inline formsets, force initial data to be saved.

Hi,

I've spend several hours trying to figure out how to save inlines with initial data in them.

basically I have a very simple model with 2 fields:

class DirectIface(models.Model):

    parent = models.ForeignKey('nodes.Node')

    name = models.CharField(max_lenght=64)

And what I'm doing is defining a formset with initial data in it:

class DirectIfaceInlineFormSet(BaseInlineFormSet):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        kwargs['initial'] = [{ 'name': 'eth1', }, {'name': 'eth2'},]

        super(DirectIfaceInlineFormSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

In this case 2 Direct ifaces with names eth1 and eth2.

The problem is that those ifaces doesn't get stored when I hit the save button, that's because has_changed == False.

So is there a way to tell Django to save formsets with only initial data ?

Thanks !
