As per my understanding of the problem, below answer should solve the issue

models.EmailField(
    verbose_name="Email Address", unique=True, null=True, blank=True,
    error_messages={
        'unique': "User with this email already exists.",
    }
)

You can use unique attribute of error messages dict and customize it according to your custom message (User with this email exist) so:

class User(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField(
        verbose_name="Email Address", unique=True,
        error_messages={
            'unique': 'User with this email exists.',
        }
    )

@AyazKhan If possible, try to create new migration, I assume you know that, It will work. – Sunderam Dubey Feb 28 '23 at 18:49
application is deploy on server and it is difficult for us to make migrations there – Ayaz Khan Feb 28 '23 at 18:50
@AyazKhan So do you want to change this message in admin site or also in frontend? Did you use any form in forms.py? You can also customize that. – Sunderam Dubey Feb 28 '23 at 18:52
in frontend side we are using react – Ayaz Khan Feb 28 '23 at 18:52
@Ayaz That's ok I mean where you want to change default message in admin site or in some form, if any form so please also edit the question with it. – Sunderam Dubey Feb 28 '23 at 18:54
i also validate user name in sterilizer but email validation doesnot work there – Ayaz Khan Feb 28 '23 at 18:55
i want to change this from backend side – Ayaz Khan Feb 28 '23 at 18:56
@AyazKhan You mean only in admin site yes, for staff? – Sunderam Dubey Feb 28 '23 at 19:00
no when user post request again for new user registration with same email, then in response it will get this error **User with this email already exists** instead this **user with this Email Address already exist** – Ayaz Khan Feb 28 '23 at 19:03
@AyazKhan share your relevant code by editing the question. – Sunderam Dubey Feb 28 '23 at 19:14
