From what I can gather, your problem is you're telling WTF to render the tags field, but WTForms doesn't know how to handle that information.
From looking at the Flask-MongoEngine documentation, it seems the ListField
is just a FieldList
as WTForms refers to it.
Currently you're not actually defining the form independently in WTForms, you're just using the magic included in Flask-MongoEngine, so my first attempt would be to add some more logic to your macro, add a {% elif field.type == 'ListField' %}
and try and discover what's contained in there to iterate through to produce your form. From having a quick look at the source-code, something like the following might work.
{% elif field.type == 'ListField %}
{# render_the_group_label #}
{% for subfield in field.entries %}
{% if subfield.type == 'StringField' %}
{# render_the_subfield #}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
...
That code will need to be worked on, but hopefully it'll point you in the right direction. Otherwise, I'd actually define the form seperately in WTForms to give you a bit more control on the code-side. Luckily they provide a csv tag example which should help you if you need to go that route. I wrote a guide that takes a different route using @property
decorators to achieve a similar effect, which again, might at least point you towards the finish line.
