Is there a Django ModelField that allows for multiple choices, aside from ManyToMany?

Question

I\'d like the user to be able to make multiple selections via the admin interface, and store the result as a list of comma-separated values. A select-multiple or a list of check

Answer 1

Django-multiselectfield does what you require:

https://github.com/goinnn/django-multiselectfield

It's inspired by the snippet that Alexander mentioned.

Answer 2

This django snippet accomplishes the same with a much smaller footprint.

http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/23/

make sure to update those imports since they are pre version 1.0

Answer 3

There is a django snippet which does just this: multiple choice model field. It says:

Usually you want to store multiple choices as a manytomany link to another table. Sometimes however it is useful to store them in the model itself. This field implements a model field and an accompanying formfield to store multiple choices as a comma-separated list of values, using the normal CHOICES attribute.
