✅

Your getAdult method should return a string. I’m not sure what type of object adult is, so I’m assuming it str() will return string representation for it.

You can do like this:

class Student(models.Model):
#your stuff

    def getAdult(self):
        try:
            adult = self.relationships.filter()[0].adult
            return str(adult)
        except Exception:
            return ''
    getAdult.shot_description = 'Adult'

class StudentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display=('name', 'getAdult')

For more information refer: list_display in ModelAdmin

Update (if object doesn’t have builtin string representation)

#example Adult model
class Adult(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    age  = models.IntegerField()

class Student(models.Model):
    #other stuff
    def getAdult(self):
        try:
            adult = self.relationships.filter()[0].adult
            return '%s %s' % (adult.first_name, adult.last_name)
        except Exception:
            return ''
    getAdult.shot_description = 'Adult'

class StudentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display=('name', 'getAdult')
