Replying to [comment:2 Carlton Gibson]:
> There was some discussion when adding autocomplete to the admin as to
whether to include a datalist widget. (ref #14370 and
[https://groups.google.com/g/django-
developers/c/jGgZngTq3Gw/m/VEFcxUEJAwAJ mailing list discussion].) Perhaps
support is better now but, conclusion was more or less that browser
support wasn't really good enough to use there.

third-party library so that people can try it out and then approaching the
DevelopersMailingList to see if there's an appetite to bring such into
core. Thanks.
Support for it is looking pretty good now: https://caniuse.com/datalist
I think this is going to become more and more necessary. This along with
JavaScript modules really makes Django show its age.
