I am following a tutorial located here that uses Django Rest Framework, and I keep getting a weird error about a field.
I have the following model in my models.py<         
        
The problem here is that you are trying to convert a Queryset(list) of entries into a single entry. The solution is something along these lines.
from rest_framework import serializers
class TaskListSerializer(serializers.ListSerializer):
    child = TaskSerializer()
    allow_null = True
    many = True
Then
if request.method == 'GET':
        tasks = Task.objects.all()
        serializer = TaskListSerializer(tasks)
        return Response(serializer.data)
