I figured it out. For some reason the presenter did not add the name of the app at the end of the makemigrations command. I did exactly like he did and got the wrong result. When I added the name of the app at the end everything functioned normally. With Jayne.com you are flying blind. There is no one to help you understand if the presenter makes a mistake. I'm looking around fr another site that is more user-friendly. Thanks a lot for your help!
