Seems that the FormWithSets is more broken than this - when you submit a form 
with an
empty (but required) field, instead of rendering the field with an error 
message, it
returns the form with the field removed.

I've fixed the first issue.

The second behavior is expected. The admin interface works the same. When all
required fields are empty the form assumes that the user didn't want to enter 
any
data. Otherwise there would be no way of knowing whether the user actually 
wanted
create such an entity or not.

The form I have is a bit like this:

class MyForm(ModelForm):
    myfield = fields.CharField(required=True)
    relatedItems = FormSetField(RelatedItem)

MyForm = FormWithSets(MyForm)

I then display the form for editing and fill in some relatedItems. If I forget 
to
enter anything in myfield when the form is reshown, the field has been removed, 
so I
cannot correct my mistake.

On http://aep-sample.appspot.com it works as expected. If I forget to enter a 
"Last
name", but select some employee I get an error for the missing "Last name", but 
all
entered values ("First name" and "Employee") stay unmodified. No fields get 
lost,
there's nothing wrong that I can see. Can you reproduce it on the sample 
project's
website?
