You most likely do not have question_text field in your Question model. You may have deleted it when you added the __str__ method definition.

Check that you have this:

class Question(models.Model):
    question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200) # <--- Double check you have this

    def __str__(self):
        return self.question_text

If you are following the Django documentation, then it is some typo at your end. Just redo the model part and run the makemigration and migrate cmd. It should work.
I faced the same issue and then I just copied and pasted the code from Django documentation and it worked.

Do this.

def __repr__ (self):
    return self.title

restart the shell/session.

then check.

I was also getting the same problem but then I checked I forget to adddouble inverted comma instead of single _ in __str__

Maybe you are getting the error because you don’t have proper indentation. I got the same error when I didn’t have proper indentation. Now it’s correct. Inside the class you should declare the function as following:

class Position(models.Model):
   title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
   def __str__(self):
       return self.title
