Given a mode A and a model B that has a field with a many to many relationship with model A, I am trying to allow users creating an object of model B to also create an object of model A inline/on-the-fly just like TabularInline allows you to do on the admin.

This is a very common problem and the solution is not trivial (at least for the moment). Django admin uses Javascript(jQuery) to do this task. Multiplication of a form requires lots of altering values and IDs etc. But recently people started doing this with htmx. The way it is done is explained in this article from JustDjango thoroughly. There is even a video tutorial about it. I personally like the way they do it. You can give it a try. It feels and looks like in the django admin. If you would like to do it purely in django, you can look up formset_factory
