Not able to select many to many in Django admin as right selection pane not visible

Question

I have a model which contains ManyToMany relationship. But when I go to admin and want to add object from admin, the right pane where selection goes is not visible.

Answer 1

In order to select many to many fields and see them in a right pane, you should add filter_horizontal to your admin class:

admin.py

class TheModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    filter_horizontal = ['the_name_of_the_field']


admin.site.register(TheModel, TheModelAdmin)
