Changing django default pk with AutoField to BigAutoField - django

Question

My model has a default pk with AutoField (integer) but later on i discovered that i need to use BigAutoField instead!
And also i have data in then with other models referencing the student model:: how do i change the pk field to BigAutoField and also reflects on other referencing models
class Student(models.Model):
matric_no = models.CharField(max_length=20, unique=True) # first set it to U(random)
password = models.CharField(max_length=128)
session = models.ForeignKey(Session, null=True)
programme = models.ForeignKey(Programme, null=True)
school = models.ForeignKey(School, null=True)
course_comb = models.ForeignKey(CourseComb, null=True)
serial = models.IntegerField(null=True)
current_level = models.CharField(max_length=3, choices=LEVEL_CHOICES, default='100', null=True)
last_login = models.DateField(null=True)
is_active = models.CharField(max_length=1, default=1, choices=((1, 1), (0, 0)))
created_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
a model referencing Student
class Profile(models.Model):
student = models.OneToOneField(Student, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
attachment = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True, verbose_name="Profile Image")
surname = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, verbose_name="Surname")
othernames = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, verbose_name="Othernames")
SEX_CHOICES = (
("M", "Male"),
("F", "Female")
)

Answer 1

Set primary_key=True in the field definition:
id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True)
If you want to use this in multiple models you could also make an abstract model and let others inherit it:
class BigPkAbstract(models.Model):
id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True)
class Meta:
abstract = True
And in your other models:
class SomeModel(BigPkAbstract):
<your model here>
