 I have found that when I override the context object name in a ListView it
 is impossible for me to iterate correctly in a for loop in the template.
 For example, if I am writing a list view called 'Services' and override
 the context object name as 'services', using the for loop as follows:
     {% for service in services %}
         <p>
             {{ service.name }}
         </p>
         <p>
             {{ service.description }}
         </p>
     {% endfor %}

 I find that instead of iterating over the number of items that I have
 stored in the database, it does so over a crazy number of items that I
 don't know what they are related to.

 The same code works perfectly on Django 3.xx, and I can iterate normally
 in the loop if I use the 'object_list' which its provided by default.
