Description (last modified by Tim Graham)

An SQL-error is raised when updating a queryset which includes an annotation created using a subquery, which in turn also uses an annotation.

class Recursive(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    link = models.IntegerField()
    parent = models.ForeignKey('self', models.CASCADE, null=True)

from django.db.models import OuterRef, Subquery, F

rec1 = Recursive.objects.create(name="r1", link=1)
rec2 = Recursive.objects.create(name="r2", link=1)
rec3 = Recursive.objects.create(name="r11", parent=rec1, link=2)

latest_parent = Recursive.objects.filter(link=OuterRef('parent_link')).order_by('id')

Recursive.objects.filter(parent__isnull=False) \
        .annotate(parent_link=F('parent__link')) \
        .annotate(p=Subquery(latest_parent.values('pk')[:1])) \
        .update(parent_id=F('p'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tests.py", line 88, in test_update_annotated_using_related_queryset
    .update(parent_id=F('p'))
  File "/git/django/django/db/models/query.py", line 647, in update
    rows = query.get_compiler(self.db).execute_sql(CURSOR)
  File "/git/django/django/db/models/sql/compiler.py", line 1204, in execute_sql
    cursor = super(SQLUpdateCompiler, self).execute_sql(result_type)
  File "/git/django/django/db/models/sql/compiler.py", line 899, in execute_sql
    raise original_exception
OperationalError: no such column: T2.link

I've tried this in SQLite and MySQL in Django 1.11.11 and Django 2.0 using Python 3.6.0. All raising similar errors.

According to the ticket's flags, the next step(s) to move this issue forward are:
