Currently the output is:
{{{
myapp.MyCustomUserModel: (auth.E002) The field named as the
'USERNAME_FIELD' for a custom user model must not be included in
'REQUIRED_FIELDS'.
}}}
because I accidentally had:
{{{
USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
EMAIL_FIELD = "email"
REQUIRED_FIELDS = (USERNAME_FIELD, "full_name",)
}}}
Ignoring the fact that Django **knows** it's wrong to have it in there,
and could easily just skip it or warn if it's not set, it doesn't make use
of the hints available in system checks.
I'd like to suggest that a hint could be provided which says which field
it's moaning about, something like (open to better wording):
{{{
HINT: Your username field is currently set to "email", you should remove
"email" from your required fields definition.
}}}
It's a stupidly little thing, but having not had to make a custom user
from scratch for a while, my eyes glazed over the **not** in ` must not be
` and I was confused for all of 2 minutes before actually reading it
properly.
