Thank you Mike & Jason.
I agree - messing around with the id is not the brightest idea I've ever
conceived.
However, the Django 3 documentation is somewhat mute on auto-incrementing, but
I'll continue searching Stack & Mozilla. Have a great evening (I am GMT+2).

I think Jason is correct. The id field belongs to the DBMS and
theoretically should never carry any human or real world meaning.
You would be better having an auto-incrementing field called "ticket" or
similar
If you really must use the id field you can supply the model with your
own id field (that's covered somewhere in the docs) with whatever name
suits.
Cheers
