You can easily achieve this using ArrayField:

# in my models...
tags = ArrayField(models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=100, choices=SECTORS_TAGS_CHOICES), blank=True, default=list)

# in my forms...
class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = ModelClass
        fields = [..., 'tags', ...]

I use tagsinput JS library to render my tags but you can use whatever you like: This my template for this widget:

{% if not hidelabel and field.label %}{{ field.label }}{% endif %}

{% if field.help_text %}{{ field.help_text | safe }}{% endif %}
