-----------------------------------------+------------------------
The following `ModelAdmin` code updates the widget, as expected:
{{{
formfield_overrides = {
ManyToManyField: {'widget': CheckboxSelectMultiple},
}
}}}
However, it has two problems:
The first problem is that it provides the little green plus sign to add
another object on the fly, but that functionality doesn't actually work
properly with the `CheckboxSelectMultiple` widget (after adding another
object, you have to refresh the page in order to see it). So I would think
that this widget shouldn't provide the little green plus sign.
The second problem might not be valid because of what I'm doing in my
project. Currently, the `<form>` in change_form.html has `novalidate`
hard-coded in:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.10.3/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/change_form.html#L40
I have overridden that in my project, removing the `novalidate` attribute.
I understand that my doing that might make this second problem invalid.
The second problem is that the user has to check each of the checkboxes in
order to submit the form.
