I have a UserProfile model that I am attempting to inline into the User
admin page.

I want to show an additional column in the User admin denoting the value
of UserProfile.verified. I can successfully add this column by appending
{{{'profile__verified'}}} the list_display property of my custom UserAdmin
class, however the value that shows up in the column is either the string
{{{"True"}}} or {{{"False"}}}.

It would be great if adding {{{'profile__verified'}}} to the list_display
of the admin class could detect that the field is a boolean (it is indeed
an instance of {{{models.BooleanField}}} on the {{{UserProfile}}}), and
display the icons.

My current workaround is to define a callable on my custom admin class and
mark it as a boolean with the {{{admin.display}}} decorator.

For reference, here is the model and admin class that produce the
undesirable behavior:

{{{
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE,
related_name='profile')
verified = models.BooleanField(default=False)


@admin.register(User)
class UserAdmin(BaseUserAdmin):
inlines = [UserProfileInline]
list_select_related = ['profile']

list_display = list(BaseUserAdmin.list_display) +
['profile__verified']
list_filter = list(BaseUserAdmin.list_filter) + ['profile__verified']
}}}
