Description (last modified by berto)

I had a model that had a ForeignKey field and a unique_together constraint involving that field. I deleted both the field and the unique_together constraint in my model and ran makemigrations. The migration created RemoveField operation and a AlterUniqueTogether operation with unique_together=set([]). When I tried to run the migration, a django.db.models.fields.FieldDoesNotExist exception occured. I edited the migration manually to put the AlterUniqueTogether operation before the RemoveField operation and then the migration worked.

NOTE: After upgrading, you must remove the bad migration file and re-run makemigrations or manually move the AlterUniqueTogether operation manually as stated above; i.e. upgrading does not fix the existing migration.
