Cheers,
After a lot of trial-and-error and some source reading, an answer to
my own post:
In order to use a CheckboxSelectMultipleField as a SelectMultipleField
you must prepare the data before :-)
That means:
if request.POST:
new_data = request.POST.copy()
errors = manipulator.get_validation_errors(new_data)
if not errors:
# ADD THIS LINE
manipulator.prepare(new_data)
manipulator.do_html2python(new_data)
new_data.getlist('groups')
Hope it helps other people.
