So I got a QuerySet result from an aggregate function to display in a low-spec eBay clone of mine. But my problem is displaying certain fields in the Django template as I want, for example, I want to display the highest bidder's username and bid. When I call the whole object itself like so {{winner}}, then it displays. But when I try to access its fields like so {{winner.user_id.username}}, I get no output although the QuerySet does execute.
When I try to get a field like so (winner.user_id.username):
When I only call winner:
