About Combined Asset Media
When you have multiple forms or formsets with the same JavaScript widgets, you shouldn't include asset media separately in your template:
{{ form.media }}
{{ formset1.media }}
{{ formset2.media }}
This would duplicate the CSS files and JavaScripts and would cause double initialization of those shared widgets.
Instead, combine the media objects in the view as follows:
context = {
"form": form,
"formset1": formset1,
"formset2": formset2,
"combined_media": form.media + formset1.media + formset2.media,
}
and use the combined media in the template:
{{ combined_media }}
