#27339: Adding an AutoField prompts for a default which creates a broken migration ------------------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: Tim Graham | Owner: nobody Type: Cleanup/optimization | Status: new Component: Migrations | Version: master Severity: Normal | Keywords: Triage Stage: Accepted | Has patch: 0 Needs documentation: 0 | Needs tests: 0 Patch needs improvement: 0 | Easy pickings: 0 UI/UX: 0 | ------------------------------------------------+------------------------ Change: {{{ class Foo(models.Model): id = models.CharField(max_length=20, primary_key=True) }}} to: {{{ class Foo(models.Model): character_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) }}} The created migration has these operations: {{{ migrations.RemoveField( model_name='foo', name='id', ), migrations.AddField( model_name='foo', name='character_id', field=models.AutoField(default=0, primary_key=True, serialize=False), preserve_default=False, ), }}} (entering 0 at the default prompt). Running the migration on PostgreSQL gives: `ProgrammingError: multiple default values specified for column "character_id" of table "t27267_foo"`. I'm not sure if this can be made to work sensibly. Removing the default from the migration operation works, but if there's an existing data, the `character_id` field must be populated somehow (perhaps a `RunPython` could be done in the same migration?). #27338 is related. This was discovered while investigating #27267.
