django formset displaying wrong objects - django

Question

when creating a new recipe post, I use two formsets for ingredients and directions. however, the new post formsets are being populated by existing ingredient and direction objects when they should be empty. here is my view for the new post and the forms:
def post_new(request):
form = PostForm()
ingredient_form = IngredientFormSet(prefix='ingredient_form')
direction_form = DirectionFormSet(prefix='ingredient_form')
if request.method == "POST":
form = PostForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
ingredient_form = IngredientFormSet(request.POST, prefix='ingredient_form')
direction_form = DirectionFormSet(request.POST, prefix='direction_form')
if form.is_valid():
post = form.save(commit=False)
post.author = request.user
post.published_date = timezone.now()
post.save()
if ingredient_form.is_valid():
for i_form in ingredient_form:
if i_form.is_valid() and i_form.has_changed():
i_form.instance.recipe = post
i_form.save()
if direction_form.is_valid():
for d_form in direction_form:
if d_form.is_valid() and d_form.has_changed():
d_form.instance.recipe = post
d_form.save()
return redirect('post_detail', pk=post.pk)
return render(request, 'blog/post_edit.html', {'form': form, 'ingredient_form': ingredient_form, 'direction_form': direction_form})
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ['title', 'image', 'text', 'prep_time', 'cook_time', 'servings_first', 'servings_second', 'tags']
IngredientFormSet = modelformset_factory(Ingredient, fields=['name',
'int_amount',
'float_amount',
'measurement'
], extra=15)
DirectionFormSet = modelformset_factory(Direction, fields=['text',
'order'
], extra=25)

Not sure why it is needed, but setting each formsets query to "None" solved the problem:
def post_new(request):
form = PostForm()
ingredient_form = IngredientFormSet(queryset=Ingredient.objects.none(), prefix='ingredient_form')
direction_form = DirectionFormSet(queryset=Direction.objects.none(), prefix='ingredient_form')
