Re: Help with Dynamically Adding Forms to Formset!!

Carl is right - this is a hard problem. I'm a mid level django
developer and I spent at least a week trying a number of solutions
(and doing the other, non Django, parts of my job).

The one that ended up working for me was the django-dynamic-formset
javascript library.

https://github.com/elo80ka/django-dynamic-formset

It took some tinkering, but that was because my brain was fried after
a week of trying to solve it :)

It is through this shadowy emptiness (of negative space) that we
walk, talk, see, and live; negative space is the impossible cellophane
layer that drapes the known world and is invisible to all but to the
most perceptive minds.

It is possible to learn to see negative space though, in both the
visual and imagined worlds. The first step is developing the ability
to see, and the second is learning — as romantic poet John Keats put
it — to be "capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts,
without any irritable reaching after fact & reason."
