Description (last modified by )
When you try to create an inline field in admin.py for a manytomanyfield you always get the following error:
<class 'MyClass'> has no ForeignKey to <class 'OtherClass'>
It would be nice to be able to use inlines for many to many relations.

I'm not aware of any plans to add this feature. I've modified this ticket to reflect the feature request.
You may get your wish through a back channel. The changes required by #10109 will probably make this feature possible with no extra effort, as that ticket will require introducing a dummy model representation of m2m fields, and this dummy model may be compatible use in inlines. I plan to commit a fix for #10109 in the near future as a precursor to multiple-database and non-SQL backend support. I'll try to keep this ticket in mind before I commit.
The documentation you reference refers to many-to-many models that use an intermediate table, not to m2m relations in general.
