> - The makemigrations command to auto-generate pending migrations is very aggressive and will detect things as "changed" that don't impact the schema. If you changed some help text on a field, or a localization string, or the aforementioned only-in-python default value, makemigrations will see that as requiring a migration that does nothing. Leads to lots of cruft.

    # Attributes that don't affect a column definition.
    # These attributes are ignored when altering the field.
    non_db_attrs = (
        "blank",
        "choices",
        "db_column",
        "editable",
        "error_messages",
        "help_text",
        "limit_choices_to",
        # Database-level options are not supported, see #21961.
        "on_delete",
        "related_name",
        "related_query_name",
        "validators",
        "verbose_name",
    )

Don't know when this was added, I just quickly checked django 4.2

Our Django app was still 1.x when I joined, I’ve gotten us up to 3.2 and hope to be on 4.0 in January. It looks like this was added in 4.1, so this’ll be a nice QOL improvement to look forward to, thanks.
