Why does Django make migrations for help_text and verbose_name changes?

Question

When I change help_text or verbose_name for any of my model fields and run python manage.py makemigrations, it detects these changes a

Answer 1

To avoid unnecessary migrations You can do as follows:

1. Subclass field that causes migration
2. Write custom deconstruct method inside that field
3. Profit

Example:

from django.db import models

class CustomCharField(models.CharField):  # or any other field

    def deconstruct(self):
        name, path, args, kwargs = super(CustomCharField, self).deconstruct()
        # exclude all fields you dont want to cause migration, my example below:
        if 'help_text' in kwargs:
            del kwargs['help_text']
        if 'verbose_name' in kwargs:
            del kwargs['verbose_name']
        return name, path, args, kwargs

Hope that helps
