Django - Autocomplete_Light's "Add Another" popup declares: "'initial' is an invalid keyword argument for this function"

Question

I am working on getting the "add another" popup to work with django-autocomplete_light.

Following along in the docs:

http://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.org/en/latest/addanother.html

I have set up my URLs:

import autocomplete_light.shortcuts as al

from AlmondKing.FinancialLogs import models
from AlmondKing.FinancialLogs import forms

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^branches/autocreate/$', al.CreateView.as_view(
        model=models.CompanyBranch, form_class=forms.CompanyBranch),
        name='branch_autocreate'),
]

and my autocomplete_light_registry.py

al.register(CompanyBranch,
    search_fields=['^branch_name'],
    attrs={
        'placeholder': 'Branch',
        'data-autocomplete-minimum-characters': 1,
    },
    widget_attrs={
        'data-widget-maximum-values': 1,
        'class': 'modern-style',
    },
    add_another_url_name='company:branch_autocreate',
)

However, when I click the plus sign to add a new related object, I get the following error:

TypeError at /company/branches/autocreate/

'initial' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

I've been trying to find a way to do this for a while and I'm so close!

Now, I am hoping someone can read the traceback and help me understand what went wrong:

Try this:

    add_another_url_name='company:branch_autocreate',

    add_another_url_name='branch_autocreate',
