Comment:
Thank you for the ticket!
So, we haven't built-out async support for forms (yet).
According to
[https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/accepted/0009-async.rst#forms
DEP-9], we want to add async support for forms, and `ModelForm` in
particular.
The more recent conversation around whether
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/is-dep009-async-capable-django-still-
relevant/ DEP-9 is still relevant] discoraged async support being added to
"everything".
However, the components that were suggested as not worth the extra
maintenance cost were [https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/is-dep009-async-
capable-django-still-relevant/30132/2 Templates], and
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/is-dep009-async-capable-django-still-
relevant/30132/5 base admin views, the syndication framework, …]
So I believe we could change this ticket title to "Async support for
forms" and then can do multiple PRs to achieve this with `Refs #36194`
I know that you are only talking about `ManyToManyField` here, however
adding/updating the API to allow partial form support without discussing
the wider goal for Django (to me) is not ideal.
-------
With all new features, we want to discuss with the community as to whether
the change is desirable.
In this case, I will add a message to the existing discussion and if we
get a positive response (this can take a couple of weeks to assess), we
can then accept the ticket.
While we are understanding the ticket, it will be in the status "wontfix"
and will stay this way unless/until we come to an agreement to action it.
