Why is the email not saving on user sign up? - django

Question

I went to test the user sign up but it keeps telling me UNIQUE constraint failed: users_customuser.email. That's because the email isn't saving with the rest of the form. I checked the database with an inspector and it shows a blank email field. I put a debug print before form.save and it showed the username email and password so I know the email is in the form data. The view looks fine so it doesn't make sense to me. Tried switching to django 2.2 and it didn't help. The form is valid but the email doesn't save.
views.py
def signup(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = SignUpForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
raw_password = form.cleaned_data.get('password1')
user = authenticate(username=username, password=raw_password)
login(request, user)
return redirect('home')
else:
form = SignUpForm()
return render(request, 'user_accounts/signup.html', {'form': form})
forms.py
class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(max_length=254, help_text='Enter a valid email address')
class Meta:
model = CustomUser
fields = ('username', 'password1', 'password2')
signup.html
{% block content %}
<h2>Sign up</h2>
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for field in form %}
<p>
{{ field.label_tag }}<br>
{{ field }}
{% if field.help_text %}
<small style="color: grey">{{ field.help_text }}</small>
{% endif %}
{% for error in field.errors %}
<p style="color: red">{{ error }}</p>
{% endfor %}
</p>
{% endfor %}
<button type="submit">Sign up</button>
</form>
{% endblock %}

I changed the forms.py to the following
forms.py
class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):
# Deleted extra email field
class Meta:
model = CustomUser
fields = ('email', 'username', 'password1', 'password2') # <-- Added 'email'
