Reordering inlines triggers 'This field is required error'

[proppy]

Hi,

Here are the steps to reproduce this issue:

• Run manage-tests.sh runserver
• Go to admin
• Add a new book
• Fill Name, Author, Pages, and 3 chapters
• Click 'Save and continue editing'
• Reorder the 3 chapters using drag n drop
• Leave the 3 empty chapters unchanged
• "This field is required error" is triggered for the 3 empty chapters

Feel free to tell me if you need more informations.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm working on a patch for this, and should have it done within the next few days.

Any luck on fixing this?

A quick fix for this would be to only allow ordering on existing objects. You can check out my fix for this on my fork: https://github.com/bendavis78/django-orderable. The long-term fix would have to implement some way of checking for whether or not any fields other than the "order" field have changed.
