Heres the scenario : 

class Account(model.Model):
    acc_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)


class Person(model.Model):
    accounts = models.ManyToManyField(Account)


class Message(model.Model):
    person = models.ForeignKey(Person)
    msg = models.CharField(max_length=500)

Now I am using InineModelAdmin in my admin.py. So it looks like this : 

class Account(admin.ModelAdmin):
    ...
    some code
    ...

admin.site.register(Account, AccountAdmin)


class MessageInLine(admin.StackedInline):
    model = Message


class PersonAdmin(admin.Modeladmin):
    inlines = [MessageInLine]


admin.site.register(Person, PersonAdmin)

So it stands that Message has a ForeignKey on Person and Person has a Many-To-Many with Account.

Now in the Django-admin, where I add Person it obviously gives the components of Person and Message. Now here the accounts are in a list, where they need to be selected by holding CTRL. I want to use a radio_button to allow selecting multiple buttons for faster selection. How can I do this?

Edit :

I tried using radio_field like this inside PersonAdmin :

radio_fields = {"accounts":admin.VERTICAL}

But it gives me an error that says that it is nether a ForeignKey nor does it have a Choices Set So obviously this isnt working. Is there a way around this?

From this Answer seems there is a way using CheckboxSelectMultiple

from django.forms.widgets import CheckboxSelectMultiple

class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [MessageInLine]
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.ManyToManyField: {'widget': CheckboxSelectMultiple},
    }
