Comment:
As a workaround I was able to use the following custom migration:
{{{#!python
operations = [
migrations.RunSQL(
'ALTER TABLE form_processor_bar RENAME COLUMN bar_id TO
external_id',
'ALTER TABLE form_processor_bar RENAME COLUMN external_id TO
bar_id',
state_operations=[
migrations.RenameField(
model_name='bar',
old_name='bar_id',
new_name='external_id',
),
migrations.AlterField(
model_name='bazz',
name='bar',
field=models.ForeignKey(to='form_processor.Bar',
to_field=b'external_id'),
preserve_default=True,
),
]
)
]
}}}
However this migration is un-sqaushable:
{{{
$ ./manage.py squashmigrations form_processor 0002
Will squash the following migrations:
- 0001_initial
- 0002_rename_bar_id_to_external_id
Do you wish to proceed? [yN] y
Optimizing...
