Description
Hi,
I am not new to Python but new to Django and I have been impressed with it after 20 or so hours of use . However, I have stumbled upon a problem that I am struggling to fix: to allow a user to pick multiple selections from a long list of items.
I have found a couple of example Django extensions online (e.g. Django easy select) but the documentation is poor / inaccessible to users like myself. I also tried to plug this feature in using Bootstraps dropdown menu but this doesn't function right e.g. Django will know if the associated form is invalid but the validation pop up does not appear, requiring a javascript solution - but this doesn't tie in with the model in the back end properly!
Are there plans to implement this feature natively in Django?
Best regards
Ed
There is a CheckboxSelectMultiple widget. It's unclear to me exactly what you want -- generally feature requests for this ticket tracker should be fleshed out in some detail. Perhaps you could find some help with your use case on our support channels. If you find a consensus there about adding something to Django, then you might reopen this ticket with details.
