26582	Better ArrayField/list formatting in the admin	Dan Watson	nobody	"When specifying an ArrayField in list_display or readonly_fields, the admin shows a rather ugly python representation of the list, e.g.:

{{{
[u'Value 1', u'Value 2', u'Value 3']
}}}

A simple solution would be to check for `isinstance(value, (list, tuple))` in `django.contrib.admin.utils.display_for_value` and return a comma- or semicolon-separated display string, then change `django.contrib.admin.utils.display_for_field` to call `display_for_value` at the end instead of just `smart_text`. This would be pretty un-intrusive, and work for any fields providing list type values.

A more thorough solution might involve some mechanism by which fields or `ModelAdmin` instances can customize the display formatting of field values. Or maybe even some sort of template-based rendering solution in line with https://github.com/django/django/pull/6498."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	contrib.admin	1.9	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
