@ -640,21 +640,24 @@ Help text of model form fields for ManyToManyField fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HTML rendering of model form fields corresponding to
:class:`~django.db.models.ManyToManyField` ORM model fields used to get the
hard-coded sentence
:class:`~django.db.models.ManyToManyField` model fields used to get the
hard-coded sentence:
*Hold down "Control", or "Command" on a Mac, to select more than one.*
(or its translation to the active locale) imposed as the help legend shown along
them if neither :attr:`model <django.db.models.Field.help_text>` nor :attr:`form
<django.forms.Field.help_text>` ``help_text`` attribute was specified by the
user (or appended to, if ``help_text`` was provided.)
<django.forms.Field.help_text>` ``help_text`` attributes were specified by the
user (or this string was appended to any ``help_text`` that was provided).
This happened always, possibly even with form fields implementing user
interactions that don't involve a keyboard and/or a mouse and was handled at the
model field layer.
Since this happened at the model layer, there was no way to prevent the text
from appearing in cases where it wasn't applicable such as form fields that
implement user interactions that don't involve a keyboard and/or a mouse.
Starting with Django 1.6 this doesn't happen anymore.
Starting with Django 1.6, as an ad-hoc temporary backward-compatibility
provision, the logic to add the "Hold down..." sentence has been moved to the
model form field layer and modified to add the text only when the associated
widget is :class:`~django.forms.SelectMultiple` or selected subclasses.
The change can affect you in a backward incompatible way if you employ custom
model form fields and/or widgets for ``ManyToManyField`` model fields whose UIs

and :doc:`widgets </ref/forms/widgets>` aren't affected but need to be aware of
what's described in :ref:`m2m-help_text-deprecation` below.
This is because, as an ad-hoc temporary backward-compatibility provision, the
described non-standard behavior has been preserved but moved to the model form
field layer and occurs only when the associated widget is
:class:`~django.forms.SelectMultiple` or selected subclasses.
