Using a model property as a lookup_field

[Adam Fletcher]

Hi Folks,

I have a custom user model that has a property called 'name' that returns the username. 

I want to use this property in a ModelSerializer like so:

    owner = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
        read_only=True,
        lookup_field="name", 
        lookup_url_kwarg="username",
        view_name="user-detail",
    )   

However, this fails and says my custom user model has no attribute "name". Any ideas on how to use a property as a lookup field?

Thanks!

lookup_field - The field on the target that should be used for the lookup. Should correspond to a URL keyword argument on the referenced view. Default is 'pk'.

Thanks!
