New description:
I have found that when I override the context object name in a ListView it
is impossible for me to iterate correctly in a for loop in the template.
For example, if I am writing a list view called 'Services' and override
the context object name as 'services', using the for loop as follows:
{{{
{% for service in services %}
<p>
{{ service.name }}
</p>
<p>
{{ service.description }}
</p>
{% endfor %}
}}}
I find that instead of iterating over the number of items that I have
stored in the database, it does so over a crazy number of items that I
don't know what they are related to.
The same code works perfectly on Django 3.xx, and I can iterate normally
in the loop if I use the 'object_list' which its provided by default.

Comment:
Hi, I don't think you've explained the issue in enough detail to confirm a
bug in Django. Please reopen the ticket if you can debug your issue and
provide details about why and where Django is at fault, or if you can
provide a small project that reproduces this issue.
