1.12.0 Release broke radio buttons, check boxes

• Package version: 1.12.0
• Django version: 3.2.4
• Python version: 3.8.5
• Template pack: Bootstrap 4

Description: Upgrading to 1.12.0 broke all radio buttons and checkboxes on a previously working site. I have confirmed that the 1.12.0 release is where the bug was introduced by stepping back to 1.11 and then updating to 1.11.2 with all still working at 1.11.2. Looking at the HTML, it looks like the problem is that there are no IDs on the <input>s and only a for with no =some_id on the <label> corresponding to the <input>.

Following are screenshots of one of the fields on the rendered form, the HTML, and the Crispy Forms Python code:

Hi all 👋

So it seems that we’ve found the source of the issue and crispy-forms continues to behave as documented even if there was a bug in previous versions that meant a different behaviour could also be achieved.

On that basis I’m going to close this as I don’t think there’s anything else we should do here. Maybe we can document better but happy to take feedback on this point. 🙏

(I wonder if folk will find this with a Web search now in any case).

Thanks again for all of your input and feedback. 🎁

FYI for others who come here, this comment has another workaround:

Also the docs say that the widget should be set to forms.RadioSelect.

So if you set your widget to forms.RadioSelect, it’ll work.
