I added this model:

{{{
class Foo(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=300, unique=True)

class Meta:
constraints = [
UniqueConstraint(
Lower("name").desc(), name="unique_lower_name"
)
]
}}}

and this admin class:

{{{
@admin.register(Foo)
class FooAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
search_fields = ("name",)
}}}

I based the UniqueConstraint on the documentation
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/models/constraints/#django.db.models.UniqueConstraint.expressions),
which shows

{{{
UniqueConstraint(Lower('name').desc(), 'category',
name='unique_lower_name_category')
}}}

When I visit the admin and click "add foo", enter name "foo1", and click
Save, I get a stack trace:

{{{

This happens on the Postgres backend (psycopg2 2.9.5).

I also get this error using the sqlite backend.

{{{
