About Gotchas with BigAutoField

Avoid adding

1	`DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD = "django.db.models.BigAutoField"`

in your project settings, because it will create migrations for backward-compatible external apps inside side-packages.

Instead, set

1	`DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD = "django.db.models.AutoField"`

in the settings and define

1	`default_auto_field = "django.db.models.BigAutoField"`

in each app's configuration.
