The null=True constraint for the first_name field was dropped from the Student model on that commit. However, when creating migrations, Django requires a default value to be either specified on the model definition itself or specified as a one-off-value while the migrations are being run.

I've specified it as the string "one-off-value" itself for all the first_name fields that were null (so that we can query for the string and get all the records). We'll have to decide what to do with it. Most probably just replace it with empty strings since those fields were anyway Null.

Yeah that is what i did when i ran it at my end too.
With SSA data coming in, I am assuming that the data will have to be cleaned and we can make sure this one of the checks.
