Is it possible to reference a property using Django's QuerySet.values_list?

full name is not a field in the django model, it is not possible. you can use list comprehensions

[person.fullname for person in Person.objects.all() ] 

values_list can only work on fields retrieved directly from the database. As zaca notes, you'll need a list comprehension on the actual queryset:

[person.fullname for person in Person.objects.all()]

Don't over-use values_list. It's just meant as a means of limiting the db query, for when you know you'll only ever need those particular fields. For almost all uses, getting the standard queryset is efficient enough.


Full name is not a field in the Django model, so you can use annotation like:

people = Person.objects.annotate(
    full_name=Concat(
        'first_name', 
        Value(' '), 
        'last_name'
    ).values_list(
        'full_name'
    )
)
