For example,
class TestModel(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length = 200) descriptions = models.JsonField()
Or
class TestModel(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length = 200) description_1 = models.TextField() description_2 = models.TextField() description_3 = models.TextField() description_4 = models.TextField() description_5 = models.TextField()
Assume that I have a limited (max 5) number of descriptions. Which approach is better and would be considered as good practice?

I am generally in favour of multiple models rather than using JSON, though there is still a time and a place for the JSON field. You have a number of description fields, you can do something like this:
class TestModel(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length = 200) class TestModelDescription(models.Model): test_model = models.ForeignKey(TestModel, ... description = models.CharField(...
You can then have any number of descriptions and access them like this:
test_model.testmodeldescription_set.all()
