Re: Django 1.5.1 and formsets with more than 1000 initials

Hi Xavier,

thank you very much for your reply! :)

If I understand the documentation correctly, the purpose of the
`max_num` parameter is to prevent that someone sends a manipulated,
excessively large value in the hidden form field that states the number
of (extra) forms that are submitted, whereas it is not (directly)
related to the number of forms that are *actually* POSTed, or
initialized via parameter `initials`.

(Thus my surprise when my application that worked without problems in
Django 1.4 stopped working with Django 1.5.1, because the Formset
factory was created as shown (with extra=0) and pruned to the default of
1000 elements.)

Well, recently I posted to the wrong list (a question that went
unanswered here) and was promptly corrected (friendly, but firmly), so I
rather wait a few more days if maybe someone else has additional info
about this.

Best regards,
Carsten
