Hi Carsten, When you create your FormSet with formset_factory, the max_number is set to the max of 1000 and max_num. The fact that you set a bigger number of initials doesn't affect this number. I'm not sure whether the FormSet could extends itself this number if the initial_data is larger than 1000. You probably could open a ticket about that.
Please note that a more flexible workaround would be: > >>> ArticleFormSet = formset_factory(ArticleForm, max_num=len(MyInitials), > >>> extra=0) Regards, Xavier Ordoquy, Linovia.
