How to add multiple input from one field in django model

Question

I have this models.py code where I want to get multiple values/file from single field without creating another table just for images.

Currently I am just repeating these field

class contentimage(models.Model):
content = models.ForeignKey(element, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)

titleimg1 = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image1 = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='media/')
img1description = models.TextField()

titleimg2 = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image2 = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='media/')
img2description = models.TextField()

titleimg3 = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image3 = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='media/')
img3description = models.TextField()

titleimg4 = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image4 = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='media/')
img4description = models.TextField()

titleimg5 = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image5 = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='media/')
img5description = models.TextField()

An optimal output will be an input field in django admin where a plus sign can add multiple images It would be really very helpful if someone can just guide me in the right direction.

Make the images into Inlines. First give them their own model class:

class Image(models.Model):
    content = models.ForeignKey(contentimage, on_delete=PROTECT). # this is what connect the two models
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    image = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='media/')
    description = models.TextField()

Then register the class in the admin:

class ImageInlineAdmin(admin.InlineModelAdmin):
    extra = 0
    model = Image

And then register the inline in your contentimage admin with a line:

inlines = [ImageInlineAdmin]
