Comment:
This is the expected behaviour as far as I can see. The
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.form
ModelAdmin.form docs] state that the `fields` meta option is ignored on
any provided form. (The provided form class is used as the base, but
fields are derived from the admin options `fields`/`fieldsets`.)
If you want to bypass the form generation you should override
`get_form()`.
I'd suggest following up in TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels if you
need to dig further.
