Description
I have Inline models that lists a lot of rows, and on save, it causes an error due to DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_NUMBER_FIELDS being exceeded. I can increase this setting to a much larger number, but that reduces the benefit of it to catch SuspiciousOperations.
The thing is that all the inline model fields are read-only. I also tried to mark them using has_change_permission override to false. It also has
extra = 0
max_num = 0
can_delete = False
so no new can be added or deleted. but that didn't seem to work. I still see in POST request all the PK (and FK) being sent like below.
orders-0-id: 6769275
orders-0-customer: 165326
orders-1-id: 6658512
orders-1-customer: 165326
orders-2-id: 6550069
orders-2-customer: 165326
orders-3-id: 6446255
orders-3-customer: 165326
Is there any reason these need to be sent if inline model is readonly through and through? Or is there a way to mark inline as completely readonly?

Admin inlines are for editing models on the same page as a parent model not for displaying extra details, what as far as I'm aware your trying to achieve.
You can try to use ModelAdmin.readonly_fields and render related table on your own or ask on one of support channels for other solutions.
