Description
Description:
When creating Model object which inherits from other Model which has DateTimeField with auto_add_now=True and passing parent_ptr_id value, then Django tries to update base Model by setting the auto_now_add field to NUL (although the field is null=False)
Expected result:
ChildModel instance created with a link to ParentModel.
Code examples:
models.py
class ParentModel(models.Model):
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
class ChildModel(SomeBaseModel):
some_field = models.CharField(max_length=12)
manage.py shell
from app.models import ParentModel, ChildModel parent_object = ParentModel.objects.create() # OK ChildModel.objects.create() # OK ChildModel.objects.create(parentmodel_ptr=parent_object) # IntegrityError
Actual result:
Django tries to update ParentModel's created with NULL
UPDATE "app_parentmodel" SET "created" = NULL, "modified" = ? WHERE "app_parentmodel"."id" = ?
And raises
django.db.utils.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: app_parentmodel.created
Noticed in Django 2.2, reproduced in 3.2 and 4.0. with both Postgres and SQlite database backends.
Demo project on GitHub to reproduce bug.
