Hi, I have a model which contains a BooleanField. I changed its name to a new one and updated help text as well. django generates operations RemoveField and AddField in sequence for those changes. As a result of running this migration, original data is lost. I was confused by this behavior why django does not generate an operation to just rename the field by executing ALTER TABLE. Renaming a database field name is a common task during development, I think django should handle this properly without developer's extra work to migrate data (but probably SQLite could be an exception).
I actually did nothing special to make that migration. django version is 1.11.13 and database backend is mariadb. Any idea about this issue? Thanks.
