Newbie request that seems difficult to implement. I would like to make an entire inline formset within an admin change form compulsory.. so in my current scenario when I hit save on an Invoice form (in Admin) the inline Order form is blank. I'd like to stop people creating invoices with no orders associated.

Anyone know an easy way to do that?

Normal validation like (required=True) on the model field doesn't appear to work in this instance.

Thanks!!
