Django recently started using `aria-describedby` to associate form fields first with their help texts, and later also with error messages. In zostera#716, django-bootstrap5 was adapted to also include those the necessary IDs in templates. `aria-describedby` for fields can have different values: - `"{field.auto_id}_helptext"` - `"{field.auto_id}_error"` - both of them - a user defined value that is left unchanged The approach in zostera#716 was to use the value from `aria-describedby` for the ID of the help text. Unfortunately, this only works in the first case. So I propose to solve this the same way the django templates solve this and just hardcode the IDs.

Python 3.9 / Django 4.2 triggers an error, can you check that? |

Done. I am a bit confused why the other 4.2 tests environments didn't fail, but it seems to work now. |
