This stopped working in Django 1.8 :

"Class-based views that use ModelFormMixin will raise an ImproperlyConfigured exception when both the fields and form_class attributes are specified. Previously, fields was silently ignored."

 

And burried in the docs, a different case for the same thing:

In older versions, omitting both fields and exclude resulted in a form with all the model's fields. Doing this now raises an ImproperlyConfigured exception.

 

For someone who didn't follow the discussion on the topic, it sure is hard to find in release notes.

The model form is missing a 'fields' attribute. Example:

class ComponentStockAllocationAssign(StockMixin, generic.CreateView):
model = models.ComponentLocationStock
fields = ['component', 'location', 'stock']
success_url = reverse_lazy("component_allocation_list")

That's a much bigger question than it seems. What's the relation between the forms?

If they're unrelated, implement get_context_data() to assign them, and form_valid() to process them.
