Repository with reproduced bug
model code:

from django.db import models
class Customer(models.Model):
notes = ArrayField(m.TextField(), default=list, blank=True, verbose_name='Notes')
admin code:

model = Customer
extra = 1
fields = ['notes']
formfield_overrides = {
ArrayField: {
"widget": ArrayWidget,
},
}
Describe your issue
When adding in the following items to the array field using the widget:
- Something 1
- Something 2, Something 3
- Something 4
It saves properly in the backend as:
['Something 1', 'Something 2, Something 3', 'Something 4']
but when the page reloads, it renders as:
- Something 1
- Something 2
- Something 3
- Something 4
Notice the extra space before Something 3 also
After much investigation this is what I found: The issue arises from: https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/postgres/forms/array.py#L38-L41 For now, I monkeypatched this in my application to just return value instead of converting it to a string and this fixed the issue.
I think we need a way to define the delimiter when using ArrayWidget. I tried a few things like SimpleArrayField(forms.CharField(), delimiter='|', widget=ArrayWidget) but it produced funky results
I just tested ArrayWidget in unfold.admin.StackedInline and unfold.admin.TabularInline and it worked without any issues. For testing I used different fields like CharField with choices and TextField.
Would you mind create minimal repository where I can see this issue?
