Django Add related_name error on AbstractUser Custom model

Django shows this error when migrating

SystemCheckError: System check identified some issues:

It is suggesting to add related_name but I have not user any ForeignKey Field in my model, My model is inheriting from the AbstractUser

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
# Create your models here.

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):
    USER_TYPE_CHOICES = (
        (1, 'CUSTOMER'),
        (2, 'AGENT'),
        (3, 'SUPERVISOR'),
    )
    user_type = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(choices=USER_TYPE_CHOICES)

Have you mentioned `AUTH_USER_MODEL` in `settings.py`? – JPG Feb 22 '22 at 18:02 — JPG, Feb 22 '22 at 18:02

Add AUTH_USER_MODEL in your settings.py for your custom user model as

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'your_app_name.CustomUser'
