Django: ValueError at form submission url

Question

I'm using CreateWithInlineView and InlineFormset from django-extra-views to create a form. Let's call the main model Experiment, Each Experiment has multiple Measurements which is basically a foreign key from Measurement to Experiment.

Measurement also has a foreign key to InstrumentationPoint and the InstrumentationPoint needs to be created before submitting the measurement inline form. So, the input form is basically a formset of Experiment modelform and Measurement modelform.

Here's a snippet from views.py

class MeasurementInline(InlineFormSet):
    model = Measurement
    form_class = MeasurementInlineForm


class ManualExperimentAddView(CreateWithInlinesView):
    model = Experiment
    form_class = ManualExperimentAddForm
    inlines = [MeasurementInline]
    form_title = "Add experiments"
    form_id = "AddExperimentForm"
    template_name = "manual_add_experiments.html"

    def forms_valid(self, form,inlines):
        obj = form.save(commit = False)
        build = Build.objects.get(pk=self.request.GET['build'])
        obj.build = build
        for inline in inlines:
            if isinstance(inline,MeasurementInline):
                obj1 = inline.save(commit=False)
                ip = inline.instance.instrumentation_point
                obj1.instrumentation_point = InstrumentationPoint.objects.create(build=build, measured_node=ip)
                obj1.save()
        obj.save()
        return super(ManualExperimentAddView, self).forms_valid(form,inlines)

and forms.py

class MeasurementInlineForm(ModelForm):
    error_css_class = "error"
    required_css_class = "required"
    class Meta:
        model = Measurement
        exclude = []
    instrumentation_point = forms.CharField()

class ManualExperimentAddForm(ModelForm):
    error_css_class = "error"
    required_css_class = "required"
    class Meta:
        model = Experiment
        exclude = ['attachment', 'build']
    date = forms.DateField(widget = DateInput())
    def is_valid(self):
        return True

Upon form submission, I get the following error stack trace:

Exception Value: Cannot assign "u'xdec'": "Measurement.instrumentation_point" must be a "InstrumentationPoint" instance.

Any help would be appreciated.
