Mike,
I tried id = model.AutoField(verbose_name=”Ticket #”). Migrate didn’t
like it – can’t have duplicate primaries. I suspect this is because
the Bug model already exists.
What I am trying to achieve is an auto-increment field whereby every
time a user logs a bug/suggestion/comment it writes a unique ticket
number in the background, which is used as a reference for subsequent
actions like Fixed, Close, WiP, etc. and as a ForeignKey in the
Comment model. I couldn’t find anything meaningful for this
functionality and so thought that the ‘id’ is already fit for purpose,
but merely requires an explanatory field text.
I think Jason is correct. The id field belongs to the DBMS and
theoretically should never carry any human or real world meaning.
You would be better having an auto-incrementing field called "ticket" or
similar
If you really must use the id field you can supply the model with your
own id field (that's covered somewhere in the docs) with whatever name
suits.
Cheers
Mike
Make sense?

I imagine you need to specify the id field in your model and give it a
verbose name.
This is an unusual requirement. Why do you want to do such a thing?

Subject: Adding a verbose_name to id field
Using Sqlite3 & Django 3.0.2 - I have searched high and low, but can’t
find a way to add a verbose name to the id of a model.
Anyone have ideas, please?
