Manual LogEntry create not displaying changes_text in admin

[alxvallejo]

I'm trying to manually log logins as the only access action for my log.

                LogEntry.objects.create(
                    actor=user,
                    object_id=user.id,
                    object_repr=user.username,
                    action=3,
                    changes_text=f"User Login: {person.full_name}",
                    changes=[{"login": f"User Login: {person.full_name}"}], # This doesn't work either
                    content_type_id=ContentType.objects.get_for_model(user).pk,
                )

It creates the LogEntry object but the admin doesn't display my changes text (or changes in general)

So how can i get the changes text to display here?

You can try to write a custom Admin like this:

# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from auditlog.admin import LogEntryAdmin
from auditlog.models import LogEntry


class CustomLogEntryAdmin(LogEntryAdmin):

    list_display = list(LogEntryAdmin.list_display) + [
        # Add your custom fields here
        "changes_str",
    ]


# Remember to unregister the original admin class
admin.site.unregister(LogEntry)
# And re-register it with the custom one
admin.site.register(LogEntry, CustomLogEntryAdmin)
