migrating models from an abstract model class

[Antonius Common]

Hi Fellows,

Commendations upon South, I LOVE IT.

However, I had no luck with adding a column to the base abstract model class, of which there are three slightly different inherited model classes.

Does it work?

Nope, that won't work right now, but it probably should. It's a little more difficult than just saying "Add this to all subclasses", however. We'd have to make sure that none of the subclasses already had a field with that name, and if so, what should be the correct behavior.

Until we get this into South, you're obviously able to setup a migration that just adds the field to each model separately. Calling --add-field 3 times on the startmigration command, specifying each subclass name and field name should do the trick.
