Django model's table doesnt contain given field

I have the following model in Django:

class Priority(models.Model):
    task = models.ForeignKey(Task, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    priority = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField

However, when I run makemigrations and migrate, the field priority ( models.PositiveSmallIntegerField) doesn't appear in mysql table and I cannot create object of this model. Why?

Because you did not construct a field, you only passed a reference to that class, you need to add brackets (()) to make the call:

class Priority(models.Model):
    task = models.ForeignKey(Task, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    priority = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()
    #                     call the constructor ^^

If you do not call the constructor, you have set priority as a reference to the PositiveSmallIntegerField class, not as a PositiveSmallIntegerField object.
