[Python] Django JSONFIeld's widget for data input in format: forms.Select (key) -...

I have a hard times to implement "user friendly" JSON input within a form.

I have some Item model which contains attributes = JSONFIeld().

class ItemType(models.Model):
title = models.CharField()

class Item(models.Model):
title = models.CharField()
item_type = models.ForeignKey(ItemType)
attributes = models.JSONField()


To keep particular "schema" within a single ItemType I've added models:

class ItemAttribute(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)

class ItemAttributeSpec(models.Model):
item_type = models.ForeignKey(ItemType)
attribute = models.ForeignKey(ItemAttribute)
required = models.BooleanField(default=False)
choices = models.JSONField(default=list)


So a goal for implementation: Provide a set of attributes' key/value pairs where key of JSON field will be forms.Select() or just label (doesn't matter much as I can manage implementation of this feature) and value is an input. So every single Item form instance would has all type-related attributes for input. Generally some kind of formset within a single form instance.
