AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'

[Elijah Ahianyo]

so im using django 3.1 and i defined a model with a foreign key relation like this:

class Account(TimeStampedModel):
    corporate = models.ForeignKey('CompanyDetail',on_delete=models.CASCADE,related_name= 'corporate_accounts')
    balance = models.DecimalField(max_digits=20, decimal_places=2)

this throwns an this error when I try to run the project or run migrations:

everything works fine when I manually import CompanyDetail. It also works fine when I take out jet_django from my installed apps in settings.py and urls.py file.
