Try changing default=timezone.now() to default=timezone.now (without

Thank you,_Nik.
That did indeed resolve this issue and I am grateful to you.
Now I have another: I'm unable to make django forget what I've done
before!
I still get the following error:

[y/N] y
You are trying to add a non-nullable field 'acnt_number' to lineitems
without a default; we can't do that (the database needs something to
populate existing rows).
Please select a fix:
1) Provide a one-off default now (will be set on all existing rows)
2) Quit, and let me add a default in models.py
Select an option:

As mentioned before, I deleted my data base but the error persists
Here's journal/models.py currently:

How does Django even know what was in this file before, let alone why

Re: starting afresh
It's telling you that your default "date" value will be the same for every
instance of "Journal" you create (essentially it'll be the time when the
migration is created), when you probably intend it to be the time each Journal
entry is created.
Try changing default=timezone.now() to default=timezone.now (without the
parens). That should resolve the warning and yield more desirable behavior.
