Manually laying out fields from an inline formset in Django

I have created an inline formset for the profile information which is added to the user form:

UserSettingsFormSet = inlineformset_factory(      User,      Profile,      form=ProfileForm,      can_delete=False,      fields=(          "title",          ...      ),  )      class SettingsView(UpdateView):      model = User      template_name = "dskrpt/settings.html"      form_class = UserForm        def get_object(self):          return self.request.user        def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):          context = super(SettingsView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)          context["formset"] = UserSettingsFormSet(              instance=self.request.user, prefix="user"          )          return context  

This works and calling {formset} in the template file renders the complete form for both User and Profile.

Yet, I would like to lay out the individual inputs myself. This works for fields belonging to User:

<input     type="text"     name=""     id="" value="">    

But doing the same for fields of the formset does not work. Here the attribute formset.form.title.value appears to be empty. All other attributes, e.g. formset.form.title.auto_id exist though.

Why does render completely with values but values are missing individually?
