In one of my projects I needed to use the changes_display_dict function in a Django template to display changes of a m2m field.
Apparently for such field the
changes_display_dict
function is not storing the added/deleted object while thechanges_dict
function does. The changes_display_dict function just store a list like this:['type', 'operation', 'objects']
.See screenshots attached.
I slightly modified the
changes_display_dict
function to also store the list of added/removed objects. The result is the following:I hope you could consider merging this if appropriate. Happy to implement any changes/improvements you might suggest on my current proposal.
