 I have a model `A` having field `b` as many to many. I wanted to make `b`
 default through table's default id field to be UUID.
 If I do that using through table, the admin interface changes to Inline
 and I don't want that. So, I tried writing a custom migration to do that.

 If I am checking the default intermediate table using `apps.get_model` it
 exists but when I use the same table in migrations it gives me error:
