Answer 1

there are multiple way, i have explained few simple and easy

you can add via admin.py

class ModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    prepopulated_fields = {"slug": ("your_field_name",)}

admin.site.register(Model, ModelAdmin)

you can use slugify on model save method

example

class Test(models.Model):
    q = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    s = models.SlugField(editable=False) # hide from admin

    def save(self):
        if not self.id:
            self.s = slugify(self.q)

        super(Test, self).save()
