14402	help_text is not displayed for ManyToMany raw_id fields	Germano Gabbianelli	Sasha Gaevsky	"{{{
#!python
if db_field.name in self.raw_id_fields:
    kwargs['widget'] = widgets.ManyToManyRawIdWidget(db_field.rel, using=db)
    kwargs['help_text'] = ''
}}}
In `contrib.admin.options.BaseModelAdmin.formfield_for_manytomany` the help_text is reset to `""""` because otherwise `ManyToManyField.__init__` would append 'Hold down ""Control"", or ""Command""...' to it:
{{{
#!python
msg = _('Hold down ""Control"", or ""Command"" on a Mac, to select more than one.')
self.help_text = string_concat(self.help_text, ' ', msg)
}}}
