Repository with reproduced bug

model code:

from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
from django.db import models

class Customer(models.Model):
    notes = ArrayField(m.TextField(), default=list, blank=True, verbose_name='Notes')

admin code:

class CustomerInline(ModelAdmin):
    model = Customer
    extra = 1
    fields = ['notes']
    formfield_overrides = {
        ArrayField: {
            "widget": ArrayWidget,
        },
    }

Describe your issue

When adding in the following items to the array field using the widget:

- Something 1
- Something 2, Something 3
- Something 4

It saves properly in the backend as: ['Something 1', 'Something 2, Something 3', 'Something 4']

but when the page reloads, it renders as:

- Something 1
- Something 2
-  Something 3
- Something 4

Notice the extra space before Something 3 also

After much investigation this is what I found: The issue arises from: https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/contrib/postgres/forms/array.py#L38-L41 For now, I monkeypatched this in my application to just return value instead of converting it to a string and this fixed the issue.

I think we need a way to define the delimiter when using ArrayWidget. I tried a few things like SimpleArrayField(forms.CharField(), delimiter='|', widget=ArrayWidget) but it produced funky results

I just tested ArrayWidget in unfold.admin.StackedInline and unfold.admin.TabularInline and it worked without any issues. For testing I used different fields like CharField with choices and TextField.

Would you mind create minimal repository where I can see this issue?
