Django Modelmultiplechoicefield Widget Not Rendering

I am trying to use the built-in django admin widget ModelMultipleChoiceField to render something like this in a form: I have followed others' recommendations here, and have review

Solution 1:

Figured it out: it is critical to have all form.media and associated javascripts load before the form loads.

So, instead of:

<linkhref="/static/admin/css/widgets.css"type="text/css"media="all"rel="stylesheet" /><scripttype="text/javascript"src="/jsi18n/"></script><scripttype="text/javascript"src="/static/admin/js/jquery.init.js"></script><formmethod='POST'action=''enctype='multipart/form-data'>{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<inputtype='submit'value='Add Item(s)' /></form>

{{ media }}

Do this (scripts + form.media placed before form:

<scripttype="text/javascript"src="/jsi18n/"></script><scripttype="text/javascript"src="/static/admin/js/jquery.min.js"></script><scripttype="text/javascript"src="/static/admin/js/jquery.init.js"></script>

{{ media }}

<formmethod='POST'action=''enctype='multipart/form-data'>{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<inputtype='submit'value='Add Item(s)' /></form>
