Admittedly I’m a newbie to django and I’m getting the following error when trying to run “python manage.py makemigrations”

I’m trying to add a new field in to my class Product(models.Model):  
featured = models.BooleanField()

Code

```auto
from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Product(models.Model):
	title = models.CharField(max_length=120) # max_length = required
	description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
	price = models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=10000)
	summary = models.TextField()
	featured = models.BooleenField() #only new added line

Error: AttributeError: module 'django.db.models' has no attribute 'BooleenField'

command:
python manage.py makemigrations <enter>

entire_traceback:

Compare this line:

```auto
featured = models.BooleenField() #only new added line

```

to what you said you added in the text of this post, and I think you’ll see the issue. 🙂 (hint: compare the lines character-by-character if you are still stuck)

Thanks for the help. Yeah I figured it out a bit ago. Small error threw me off on a tangent for far too long.
