Description
I have a unique_together primary key in one of my models. When adding an inline admin for that model, the interface only allows adding one new object. I have tracked it down to code in django/django/forms/models.py:
fk = _get_foreign_key(parent_model, model, fk_name=fk_name) # enforce a max_num=1 when the foreign key to the parent model is unique. if fk.unique: max_num = 1
While this makes sense for a single unique primary key, it is the wrong behavior for a composite primary key.
Is a fix needed in Django so multiple objects with unique_together primary keys can be added as inlines, or should this be done using custom code?
