New contributor to Django with a ticket in mind

[Jatin]

Hello everyone, 

           I have been a long time user of Django and figured I could probably contribute a little back to the project by contributing some code. 

Is it possible for me to take up this ticket? https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2259

I see this was opened quite a while back and has a Pull Request that was closed because of a regression issue. Can I take this up from scratch?

Thanks

Jatin

Hi Jatin, Welcome! 

> Can I take this up from scratch?

I think the short answer there is going to be Yes :-)

The history on that ticket is long. (There's the issue over updating primary keys vs how those are handled in the Admin; either seems legitimate.) 

Once you have an idea it might be worth summarising the issue, with your suggestion, here to get some input. 

The first step beyond that would be tests showing exactly the issue you'll be fixing. (There were some patches uploaded; I don't know if they're still current.) 

I hope that helps. 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Alright, thanks a lot, I will look it up and send a summary here when I have an idea.

I have assigned the ticket to myself. I hope this is the right thing to do.

Thanks

Jatin
