[Django]-Django: disallow can_delete on GenericStackedInline

Update 2016: as per Stan’s answer below, modern versions of django let you set can_delete = True on the GenericStackedInline subclass, as it inherits from InlineModelAdmin

I’ve run into this before – for some reason passing can_delete as an argument doesn’t work, but setting it in the formset’s init method does. Try this:

class MyInlineFormset(generic.generic_inlineformset_factory(MyModel)):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyInlineFormset, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.can_delete = False

then in your admin inline class:

class MyModelStackedInline(generic.GenericStackedInline):
    model = MyModel
    formset = MyInlineFormset
    extra = 0

Maybe It is a post ’09 feature, but you can specify that without overriding the __init__() method :

class StupidCarOptionsInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = models.StupidOption
    form = StupidCarOptionAdminForm
    extra = 0
    can_delete = False
