I have a form where people can add more input with a button.
The javascript function clones the "origin-item", but I can't seem to get the function to correctly update the value in #id_nested-TOTAL_FORMS and __prefix__ does not get replaced with a counter-number, It just copies and adds __prefix__ instead of 1 or 2 and so on.
Anyone know what is wrong with the function?
The script was found here: https://github.com/rotaris/dynamicformdjango/blob/master/todo/templates/edit_items_in_list.html
