Django-autocomplete-light：允许自由文本

Question

I am using autocomplete_light.MultipleChoiceWidget from django-autocomplete-light==1.4.13 to fill in a ManyToManyField. It only allows selecting items from existing choices.

Is there a way to allow users to create new items on the fly with django-autocomplete-light?

If not, is there any solid alternative to it with good Django integration, which supports this feature?

There is an issue on GitHub by @blueyed. Here is an answer from the author:

Here's an example for v2 https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/tree/master/autocomplete_light/example_apps/create_choice_on_the_fly

That one would be for v1 https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/tree/master/test_project/ajax_create
