Here is an example:
create table t1 ( a int) partition by list (a);
create table t11 partition of t1 for values in (null);
*Current constraints:*
postgres=# \d+ t11;
Table "public.t11"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Stats target
| Description
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+--------------+-------------
a | integer | | | | plain |
|
Partition of: t1 FOR VALUES IN (NULL)
Partition constraint: ((a IS NULL) OR (a = ANY (ARRAY[]::integer[])))
*Constraints after fix:*
postgres=# \d+ t11;
Table "public.t11"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Stats target
| Description
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+--------------+-------------
a | integer | | | | plain |
|
Partition of: t1 FOR VALUES IN (NULL)
Partition constraint: (a IS NULL)
