I'm creating a formset, but it seems to populate it with all of the existing data in the table for that object. I can't figure out how to start with a blank formset; the only way seems to be to delete all of the data from the table, but clearly this isn't an option.

I will post code if necessary (but there's lots of it, so knowing what is relevant is tricky).
