Comment:
There was some discussion when adding autocomplete to the admin as to
whether to include a datalist widget. (ref #14370 and
[https://groups.google.com/g/django-
developers/c/jGgZngTq3Gw/m/VEFcxUEJAwAJ mailing list discussion].) Perhaps
support is better now but, conclusion was more or less that browser
support wasn't really good enough to use there.
I'm going to close as wontfix for now. The custom widget is exactly the
right way to go.
For an addition like this, I would suggest wrapping it into a small third-
party library so that people can try it out and then approaching the
DevelopersMailingList to see if there's an appetite to bring such into
core. Thanks.
