[Answered ]-Calling Model function in template not working

This has nothing to do with calling it from the template.

self.skill is already an instance of Skill. There is no need to query that model explicitly.

def skillcategory(self):
    return self.skill.skillset_choice

And in fact this method is pretty pointless; you certainly can do it directly in the template:

skillsetchoice {{ item.skill.skillset_choice }}

Replace self.skill with self.skill.id (in older versions of Django your code would work by the way):

def skillcategory(self):
    return Skill.objects.get(id = self.skill.id).skillset_choice

But this is much better:

def skillcategory(self):
    return self.skill.skillset_choice

But do you really need this method? You can use:

{{ item.skill.skillset_choice }}

If you want to display cat1, then (get_foo_display):

{{ item.skill.get_skillset_choice_display }}
