I am using the django-dynamic-raw-id in my project which calls the
windowname_to_id function that user to be in RelatedObjectLookup.js for in
the js/admin folder. After upgrading to Django 3.1.1 the windowname_to_id
function is no longer there. Was this removed on purpose and I should see
other solutions?

function windowname_to_id(text) {
text = text.replace(/__dot__/g, '.');
text = text.replace(/__dash__/g, '-');
return text;
}

Comment:

`windowname_to_id` was a workaround for IE and a part of private API.
Admin doesn't support IE anymore, see
8b30360322d4de6687e17ab267a856db4e3c78a6. You should report this in
`django-dynamic-raw-id` not in Django itself.
