After combining all the previous answers, below works for me, Django 4.2, Python 3.11
from django import forms
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
class _TypedMultipleChoiceField(forms.TypedMultipleChoiceField):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
kwargs.pop("base_field", None)
kwargs.pop("max_length", None)
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
class ChoiceArrayField(ArrayField):
"""

def formfield(self, **kwargs):
defaults = {

'coerce': self.base_field.to_python,

defaults.update(kwargs)
