Django: Direct assignment to the reverse side of a related set is prohibited. Use username.set() instead

I have some troubles with migrating my database in django

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Direct assignment to the reverse side of a related set is prohibited. Use username.set() instead.

Here is my models.py:

class PostComments(models.Model):
    post = models.ForeignKey(InfoPost, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='comments')
    author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="username")
    text = models.TextField()
    created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
    #approved_comment = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    reply_to = models.ForeignKey("self", null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='replies')

    #def __str__(self): return 'Comment by {} on {}'.format(self.name, self.post)

I am trying to make comments system for post in my website, but there is some error occured. I don't know whats wrong with my model, but if i try to make migrations without my new PostComments model, its migrating pretty fine.

UPD. Here is my code, where i am using my PostComments model

forms.py
    class CommentsForm(forms.ModelForm):
        post = forms.CharField(required=False)
        author = forms.CharField(required=False)

        class Meta:
            model = PostComments
            fields = '__all__'

views.py

def post(request, slug):
    post = get_object_or_404(InfoPost, slug=slug)
    comment_list = CommentsForm._meta.model.objects.all()

    if request.user.is_authenticated:
        user = User.objects.get(username=request.user.username)

        if request.method == 'POST':
            comment = CommentsForm(request.POST)
            print(comment.is_valid())
            if comment.is_valid():
                com = comment.save(commit=False)
                com.author = request.user
                com.post = post
                com.save()
                return redirect('post', slug=slug)
        else:
            comment_form = CommentsForm()
        return render_to_response('MainPage/Post.html',
                                  {'post': post, "user": user, 'img_w': image_w, 'img_h': image_h,
                                   'comments_list': comment_list, 'comment_form': comment_form})

    return render_to_response('MainPage/Post.html', {'post': post, 'img_w': image_w, 'img_h': image_h, 'comments_list': comment_list})

I was thinking, its started after i tried to get all objects of comments for displaying them in view, but i don't really know

You are shielding the actual username field on the User model with the related_name on the author ForeignKey.

It should be like this:

author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="usernames")

'related_name=usernames' at plural.

The reason why it failed is because when you did:

user = User.objects.get(username=request.user.username)

you were basically accessing the reverse relation to the comments set that are tied to the user, not the actual username field (which I assume is a CharField).

More info about related_name in the django documentation.
