Django South - Create Not Null ForeignKey

Question

I have a Model

class Mystery(models.Model):
    first = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    second = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    third = models.CharFie         


        

Answer 1

If your database already contains Mystery objects, then south must know, what value put into player field, because it cannot be blank.

One possible solution:

choose

    2. Specify a one-off value to use for existing columns now

and then enter 1. So all of your existing Mystery objects will now point to Player with pk = 1. Then you can change (if needed) this in admin page.
