Description

Hi,
Have a use case where I want to be able to edit either a string or a JSON object, both are valid Django JSONField options. If I have a simple string the widget chops it apart, I think this is because of how _.template works, probably to solve this, the case needs to be detected and a different template needs to be used.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the widget's _.template usage and how it handles a simple string versus a JSON object; done means string values remain intact in the widget while object editing continues to work.
