You've got several options. If you want to piggyback on top of an add/change
form that Django automatically generates, you can attach arbitrary JavaScript
modules to the page via the model's class Admin :ref:`js parameter
<modeladmin-media-definitions>`. That parameter is a list of URLs, as strings,
<modeladmin-asset-definitions>`. That parameter is a list of URLs, as strings,
pointing to JavaScript modules that will be included within the admin form via
a ``<script>`` tag.
