28461	createsuperuser crashes with a ForeignKey to a CharField in REQUIRED_FIELDS	Kirill B.	nobody	"These are my models:

{{{
from uuid import uuid4

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser
from django.db import models


class Company(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=64, primary_key=True)


class User(AbstractUser):
    uuid = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, editable=False, default=uuid4)
    company = models.ForeignKey(Company)

    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['email', 'company']
}}}

When I run `manage.py createsuperuser` I got this result:

{{{
Username: superuser
