According to [1] """ [automatically loading initial data via fixtures is d]eprecated since version 1.7: If an application uses migrations, there is no automatic loading of fixtures. Since migrations will be required for applications in Django 1.9, this behavior is considered deprecated. If you want to load initial data for an app, consider doing it in a migration. """
However, the docs don't link to how that data should be furnished to the migration. As best I can tell from reading[2], it sounds like one needs to create a Python function that creates & saves the data, and then provide that function to migrations.RunPython to be executed. Is this correct, or is there some easier way to provide that initial data to an app?
