Came across the same issue.

Solved it by loading jQuery before the form.media in the html template:

<!-- Load jQuery -->
        <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>

        {{ form.media }}
        ```

I am having the same problem. I am running bootstrap v5.2.3 and I think the issue is because bootstrap v5 no longer includes jQuery but I am not sure if this is true and, if true, is causing the problem

You need to be sure to load jQuery before form.media like the comment above. Otherwise you could use and install django-bootstrap4 and follow the steps in the documentation, django-bootstrap4 includes jQuery. Also keep in mind, django-bootstrap5 does not include jQuery so you would need to include it separately.
