Support for adding tags through multi-part forms

[jameskane05]

Using Django and Django Rest Framework connected to an Angular app, I'm trying to add tags to every WorkSample model I create. I create new instances of this model by submitting POST data to API endpoints. In this case, the model and form include a user-submitted image file, so I have to convert the POST data to a FormData object before POSTing so that DRF can interpret the image file (making sure to include parser_classes = ( FormParser, MultiPartParser,) in the model serializer to interpret a multi-part form).

That was working great before I added the tags field, using django-taggit and django-taggit-serializer. But trying to submit tag values through the FormData object results in this error: "{tags: ["Invalid json list. A tag list submitted in string form must be valid json."]}"

Is support for multi-part form submission an option? Wondering what I could do differently...

Hey @jameskane05, first of all thank you for creating the issue. Sorry for my utterly late response as I've been too busy to maintain and I should honestly see if I could get help from other people (there are people luckily interested)!

As I said in the issue #29 I'm going to push the new version towards renderers and parsers. So stay tuned (if you still need it offcourse haha)
