ViewsDjango with Mongodb not creating id
I am trying Mongodb with Django and for that I am using djongo engine. I have created a simple model with two fields
class questions(models.Model):
question = models.CharField(max_length=3000)
answer = models.CharField(max_length=300000)
I ran the makemigrations and migrate. Using the admin option I am trying to add the data but when I am adding the record its creating with id as none. Please refer the below screenshots.
From similar questions from the internet I tried to add the site Id in settings.py. Delete the migration files and rerun the migration but no luck. When I checked the 0001_initial.py I found the model as below which has Id field.
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
initial = True
dependencies = [
]
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='questions',
fields=[
('id', models.AutoField(auto_created=True, primary_key=True, serialize=False, verbose_name='ID')),
('question', models.CharField(max_length=3000)),
('answer', models.CharField(max_length=300000)),
],
),
]
I browse the data with Mongodb compass, there is no autogenerated ID field. Now I am stuck and not able to figure out what exactly going wrong. Please help.. Thank you.

For proper Django admin integration you can add the _id field to your model:
from djongo import models
class questions(models.Model):
_id = models.ObjectIdField()
# other fields ...
Since djongo.models contains all the standard django.db.models classes you can just replace:
from django.db import models
with
from djongo import models
