Making different registration forms in Django?

Question

I'm trying to create two different types of users in Django using AbstractUser. I've created two models that inherit from my AbstractUser model.

How do I update the UserCreationForm so that it has a field for user type?

Just override the built-in UserCreationForm and adjust the fields as necessary.

class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
    class Meta:
        model = CustomUser
        fields = UserCreationForm.Meta.fields + ('type',)

Thank you! This helps a lot. By 'type', is this where I would include the names of my models that inherit from AbstractUser? – Bcomposer Aug 06 '20 at 19:52
Yeah you'd just be appending another field_name to the tuple of fields in the UserCreationForm: `fields = UserCreationForm.Meta.fields + ('user_type',)`. – Harben Aug 06 '20 at 19:55
No worries! If you could mark as answer, that would be awesome! – Harben Aug 07 '20 at 15:23
