Created a new project from the Django Cookiecutter template. It already has a customized user model.

Added new props:

from homes.models import Homes class User(AbstractUser): name = CharField(_("Name of User"), blank=True, max_length=255) homes = models.ForeignKey(Homes, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True)

In admin.py added:

  list_display = ["username", "name", "is_superuser", "homes"]

Full code:

 @admin.register(User) class UserAdmin(auth_admin.UserAdmin): form = UserChangeForm add_form = UserCreationForm fieldsets = (("User", {"fields": ("name",)}),) + auth_admin.UserAdmin.fieldsets list_display = ["username", "name", "is_superuser"] search_fields = ["name"]

This field is in the list of objects, and when editing from the admin it is not. What can be wrong?

    Perhaps in admin.py the list of fields is limited to the variable fields .

    In this case, you need to add the name of the new field to this list or delete it so that in the editing / modification mode of the object all fields are displayed.

    Example:

     class FlatPageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): fields = ('url', 'title', 'content', 'homes')
    • I add your example - swears that there should be a tuple or a list. Change to fields = ['url', 'title', 'content', 'homes'], swears that <class 'sun.users.admin.UserAdmin'>: (admin.E005) Both 'fieldsets' and 'fields' are specified. - Leonid
    • @ Leonid tried to translate the last error message? - Sergey Gornostaev

    In the fieldset in UserAdmin you need to add a new field. For example:

     fieldsets = (("User", {"fields": ("name", "homes",)}),) + auth_admin.UserAdmin.fieldsets
