Hello!
Currently admin ManyToMany autocomplete fields don't allow editing selections like ForeignKey fields do.
I would like to suggest adding adding editing by showing the related object popup when a selected option is clicked in a ManyToMany autocomplete field.
Alternatively, the unicode pencil icon could be added next to the × icon into the selection chip for editing:
[ ( × 🖉 option 1 ) ( × 🖉 option 2 ) ] +
I recently had to implement this and a (somewhat incomplete) overview how to do it with django-autocomplete-light is here:
What do you think?
Best regards,
Mart
