Software versions
* Python 3.6.3
* Django 2.0
* django-model-utils 3.1.1 (from git)
* PostgreSQL 9.4
* psycopg2 2.7.3.2
I have a `licenses` app, with these models:
* `BaseLicense`, a concrete model, with a `ForeignKey` to
`settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL`.
* `CorelDrawLicense`, which inherits from `BaseLicense` through multi-
table inheritance
* `AdobePhotoshopLicense`, which inherits from `BaseLicense` through
multi-table inheritance
I created an instance of `AdobePhotoshopLicense`, then tried to do
`manage.py dumpdata` and `manage.py loaddata`.
`dumpdata` "worked" - there was no error.
However, `loaddata` failed with this traceback:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

}}}
Here are the exact steps:
1. Create model instances in management shell
{{{
>>> from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
>>> User = get_user_model()
>>> kal = User.objects.create_user('kal', '[email protected]', 'qwer1234')
>>> from licenses.models import AdobePhotoshopLicense
>>> l = AdobePhotoshopLicense.objects.create(user=kal,
license_key='12345')
}}}
2. Dump the data into a fixtures json
{{{
$ python manage.py dumpdata -o fixtures.json --format json --natural-
foreign --natural-primary auth licenses
}}}
3. Edit settings.py to switch to an empty database
{{{
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
#'NAME': 'nk_test',
'NAME': 'nk_test_2',
'USER': 'kal',
'HOST': '',
'PORT': 5432,
}
}
}}}
4. Run migrations on the new empty database
{{{
$ python manage.py migrate
}}}
5. Try to load the data from fixtures.json
{{{
$ python manage.py loaddata --format json fixtures.json
}}}
I have attached the models.py and fixtures.json file to the ticket.
