I am creating the super user through admin panel or command line, but it is not showing in the custom model in the database.

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Create your models here.
class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    description = models.TextField(null=True)
    profile_image = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.user)

class Following(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    following = models.CharField(max_length=30)

class Follower(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    follower = models.CharField(max_length=30)

Using OneToOnefield should create the user in the Profile model automatically but it is not happening. I am not sure what is wrong because in the previous project it was workiing fine. Also I have registered the models in admin.py.

A `OneToOneField` does *not* automatically create another model object. – Willem Van Onsem Mar 04 '22 at 21:41
But in other projects it was dealing on its own. – Vansh_Chaudhary Mar 04 '22 at 21:44
likely that was due to the use of signals. – Willem Van Onsem Mar 04 '22 at 21:50
I was using command line for creating super user so I didn't use signals. – Vansh_Chaudhary Mar 04 '22 at 22:39
the `createsuperuser` command also triggers signals... The idea is that if you create a user, through whatever means, it will normally trigger the signals, unless you do bulk creates/updates/deletes... But that will not happen by creating a user through the command line. – Willem Van Onsem Mar 04 '22 at 22:43
