I had a model which looks like this:
from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser class User(AbstractUser): username = models.TextField(max_length=100, unique=True) # other fields Then I realised after working further on what I am building, that it is quite important that the username field is slightly differently named, so made an alteration in that line:
username_internal = models.TextField(max_length=100, unique=True) and ran python manage.py makemigrations myapp.
It asked me for a default value, but when I look at the .py migration it created, don't like what it has done:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # Generated by Django 1.11.4 on 2018-11-14 10:49 from __future__ import unicode_literals import django.contrib.auth.validators from django.db import migrations, models class Migration(migrations.Migration): dependencies = [ ('myapp', '0002_user_internalid'), ] operations = [ migrations.AddField( model_name='user', name='username_internal', field=models.TextField(default=5, max_length=100, unique=True), preserve_default=False, ), migrations.AlterField( model_name='user', name='username', field=models.CharField(error_messages={'unique': 'A user with that username already exists.'}, help_text='Required. 150 characters or fewer. Letters, digits and @/./+/-/_ only.', max_length=150, unique=True, validators=[django.contrib.auth.validators.UnicodeUsernameValidator()], verbose_name='username'), ), ] It is trying to create a new field, I just want it to rename the existing field.
Am new to Django (using 1.11.4) Does anyone know how to fix this?
