Hello,

I am trying to save a formset but it seems to be bypassing is_valid() even though there are required fields.

To test this I have a simple form:

class AlbumForm(forms.Form):
  name = forms.CharField(required=True)

The view:

@login_required
def add_album(request, artist):
  artist = Artist.objects.get(slug__iexact=artist)
  AlbumFormSet = formset_factory(AlbumForm)
  if request.method == 'POST':
    formset = AlbumFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
    if formset.is_valid():
      return HttpResponse('worked')
  else:
    formset = AlbumFormSet()
  return render_to_response('submissions/addalbum.html', {
   'artist': artist,
   'formset': formset,
  }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

And the template:

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
{{ formset.management_form }}
{% for form in formset.forms %}
  <ul class="addalbumlist">
    {% for field in form %}
     <li>
        {{ field.label_tag }}
        {{ field }}
        {{ field.errors }}
     </li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>
{% endfor %}
   <div class="inpwrap">
    <input type="button" value="add another">
    <input type="submit" value="add">
   </div>
</form>

What ends up happening is I hit "add" without entering a name then HttpResponse('worked') get's called seemingly assuming it's a valid form.

I might be missing something here, but I can't see what's wrong. What I want to happen is, just like any other form if the field is required to spit out an error if its not filled in. Any ideas?
