Django's ModelAdmin.get_changelist_form(self, request, **kwargs) will do the trick for the case of list_editable

class StopAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
  class Meta:
    model = Stop
    widgets = {
      'approve_ts': ApproveStopWidget(),
    }

class StopAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  form = StopAdminForm

  #just return the ModelForm class StopAdminForm

        return StopAdminForm

Refer to Django Official documentation on this topic

I hope this will help
