27250	Confusing <label> assignment with CheckboxSelectMultiple	Daniel Lamprecht	MartinArroyo	"Using CheckboxSelectMultiple leads to a (in my opinion) confusing assignment of the <label> in the generated HTML. The general label for the choices refers to the first element in the list. Please see this example:

forms.py:
{{{
class TestForm(forms.Form):
    days = forms.MultipleChoiceField(
        widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
        choices=[('1', 'DayOne'), ('2', 'DayTwo')],
    )
}}}

views.py:
{{{
def form(request):
    return render(request, 'form.html', {'form': forms.TestForm()})
}}}    
form.html:
{{{
<form method=""post"">
  <ul>
    {{ form.as_ul }}
  </ul>
  <button type=""submit"">Submit</button>
</form>
}}}

Resulting HTML (prettified):
{{{
<form method=""post"">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <label for=""id_days_0"">Days:</label>
      <ul id=""id_days"">
        <li>
          <label for=""id_days_0""><input id=""id_days_0"" name=""days"" type=""checkbox"" value=""1"" /> DayOne</label>
        </li>
        <li>
          <label for=""id_days_1""><input id=""id_days_1"" name=""days"" type=""checkbox"" value=""2"" /> DayTwo</label>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <button type=""submit"">Submit</button>
</form>
}}}

This means that clicking on ""Days"" selects the first day. I would suggest to remove the ""<label> element and only keep the label text itself. 

Compare this to the HTML when not having the CheckboxSelectMultiple widget, where clicking on ""Days"" simply selects the <select> element:
{{{
<form method=""post"">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <label for=""id_days"">Days:</label>
      <select multiple=""multiple"" id=""id_days"" name=""days"" required>
        <option value=""1"">One</option>
        <option value=""2"">Two</option>
      </select>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <button type=""submit"">Submit</button>
</form>
}}}
