Django ModelMultipleChoiceField Widget Not Rendering

I am trying to use the built-in django admin widget ModelMultipleChoiceField to render something like this in a form: I have followed others' recommendations here, and have review

Solution 1:

Figured it out: it is critical to have all form.media and associated javascripts load before the form loads.

So, instead of:

<link href="/static/admin/css/widgets.css" type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jsi18n/"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/jquery.init.js"></script>

<form method='POST' action='' enctype='multipart/form-data'>{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type='submit' value='Add Item(s)' />
</form>

{{ media }}

Do this (scripts + form.media placed before form:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/jsi18n/"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/jquery.init.js"></script>

{{ media }}

<form method='POST' action='' enctype='multipart/form-data'>{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type='submit' value='Add Item(s)' />
</form>
