Hi Maurilio,
You can use MultipleChoiceField in your model form field . Its the field of model form class of corrosponding field of model class . In Front end you will see as multiselect checkbox .
let say my models are -

class Country(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
status = models.IntegerField(default=1)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

def __str__(self):
    return self.name


class Hobby(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
status = models.IntegerField(default=1)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

def __str__(self):
    return self.name


class PersonDetail(models.Model):
GENDER = (
    ('M','Male'),
    ('F','Female')
)
user = models.ForeignKey(User,null=True,blank=True,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
gender = models.CharField(max_length=10,choices=GENDER)
dob = models.DateField()
mobile = models.IntegerField()
email = models.EmailField()
aadhaar = models.IntegerField()
country = models.ForeignKey(Country,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
address = models.TextField()
hobby = models.ManyToManyField(Hobby,null=True)
status = models.IntegerField(default=1)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

def __str__(self):
    return '{} - {}'.format(self.name,self.email)

and then my ModelForm class -

class PersonDetailForm(forms.ModelForm):

# def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
#     super(PersonDetailForm,self).__init__(*args,**kwargs)
#     self.user = kwargs.pop('user',None)
hobby = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Hobby.objects.filter(status=1),
                                               widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, required=False)
class Meta:
    model = PersonDetail
    fields = ('name','gender','dob','mobile','email','aadhaar','country','address','hobby')

    widgets = {
        'dob': forms.DateInput(attrs={'type':'date'}),
        'address':forms.Textarea(attrs={'cols':10,'rows':3})
    }
    labels = {
        'name':'Display Name'
    }

Here is the UI -

Dear, I’ve made a little app to control maintenance in my factory, I created model for order and part, now, in order detail view I need link m2m field of part. When I create a maintenance order, I need select one or more spare parts from its detail view. Spare parts can be 200 o 300 and with chechboxes is not good for more than 10 o 20 elements.
Thanks
Regards
MD

Then in that case i will suggesst you to categories your Spare Parts, based on category you select , spare part checkbox will be filtered and number will be reduced to 10-20 .

Good, I’ll try to do in this manner
thanks
