How to get Django South to migrate a field with changed max_length?

django, django-south, python

Solution

Issue the command (after the change of the `max_length` in the code):

python manage.py schemamigration <name of the app> --auto
python manage.py migrate <name of the app>

That worked for me. Hope it helps

Problem

I have a `CharField` in a model for which I want to increase the `max_length` attribute. South isn't noticing this change, saying there's nothing to migrate. How do I get it to migrate this?
