Comment (by Sanskar Jaiswal): Upon going through some of the source code, the issue clearly arises because we are calling `RemoveField` in the `generate_deleted_models` method in `db/migrations/autodetector.py` [https://github.com/django/django/blob/f283ffaa84ef0a558eb466b8fc3fae7e6fbb547c/django/db/migrations/autodetector.py#L707]. I think calling this method here is redundant as `DeleteModel` should drop the table from the database which automatically deletes the related fields as well. Can someone confirm my hypothesis or correct me if I am steering in the wrong direction? -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31255#comment:5> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
