You haven't set max_len of TextField, use this - do it like this --  Description = models.TextField(max_length=1000)

Hi,

So what am I suppose to use if not TextField? I have tried CharField, that doesn't work either. Below is the model details:

class OnlineShop(models.Model):
    Product_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
    Price = models.IntegerField()
    Slug = models.SlugField(max_length=250, unique=True)
    Description = models.TextField()
    Curr_Time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return '{}'.format(self.Product_name)
