slug
is a field in UserProfile
, but the prepopulated_fields = {"slug": ("name",)}
is an attribute of UserProfileAdmin
, which is applied to User
.
prepopulated_fields
triggers some javascript that autogenerates the value of a SlugField out of the values of some other fields of the same model. What you are trying is to prepopulate a field of a different model. The UserProfileAdmin
is applied to User
, the prepopulated_fields
refers to the field slug
which is unknown to the model User
. It is defined in UserProfile
.
That’s why I think that the biggest problem here is the name UserProfileAdmin
which should rather be UserAdmin
. Don’t confuse the model to which the prepopulated_fields
is applied with the one that is inlined. Even when there is a OneToOne relation, it still is a different model.
