Description (last modified by Mayank Jain)

I have a model A having field b as many to many. I wanted to make b default through table's default id field to be UUID.
If I do that using through table, the admin interface changes to Inline and I don't want that. So, I tried writing a custom migration to do that.

If I am checking the default intermediate table using apps.get_model it exists but when I use the same table in migrations it gives me error:

File "./manage.py", line 19, in <module>
