django3-admin-select2

Enable select2 for Django3 admin select inputs.

Automatically applies to all selects, excluding filtered selects (e.g. auth.User.groups).

Tested with Python 3.6 and Django 3.1.8.

Installation

pip install django3-admin-select2

Update settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    # must go before django.contrib.admin
    'django3_admin_select2',
    ...
]

How it works

This app adds an overriding template for admin/base_site.html, adding the required css and js to extrahead and footer blocks respectively.

Note that Django admin's builtin Select2 only applies to ForeignKey and ManyToManyField.
