As mentioned in the reply, you need to declare a primary key on a non-AutoField. For example:

from django.db import models

class Person(models.Model):
    username = CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=100)
    first_name = CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=100)

Please note, setting a field to primary_key=True automatically makes it unique and not null. Good luck!
