Import name instead of ID in a foreign key field

Hi!

I have this model:

models.py

`class User(models.Model):
    user_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False, verbose_name='Nome')
    user_login = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True, verbose_name='Login de Rede')
    user_position = models.ForeignKey('UserPositionDatabase', on_delete=models.PROTECT, max_length=50, blank=True, verbose_name='Posição', default="") 
    user_departament = models.ForeignKey('Departament', on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=True, verbose_name='Departamento')
    user_manager = models.CharField(max_length=20, verbose_name='Gestor Imediato', default="")
    user_locality = models.ForeignKey('Locality', on_delete=models.PROTECT, blank=True, null=False, verbose_name='Localidade')`

when I export the department which is a foreign key, the result is the id instead of the departament name. How do I change?

When I tried this,

It said django.core.exceptions.FieldDoesNotExist: Vendor.added_by_user.name: User has no field named 'name'

My code is :

added_by_user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.PROTECT, related_name= "vendors", verbose_name="Added By User") @deki90to any idea?

That is almost correct. It must be fields not field. And don’t include the ... bit (replace that with any other field names that you want to export).

If you are a beginner (and you don’t already do this) then may I suggest:

• read the documentation carefully
• use an IDE like PyCharm and use the debugger.

This will save you many hours in trying to fix issues.
