Show a ManyToManyField as Checkboxes in Django Admin

Question

Is there a simple way to show a ManyToManyField as Checkboxes in Django Admin? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I think there is no simple way to do this. You can try to override ModelAdmin class but this is not a "simple" way.

But you can use filter_horizontal or filter_vertical to add almost similar functionality
