Observed Behavior

Hello I messed up using API,
I was trying to add a new platform like this
PUT $data = '{ "name": "' . "SOMENAME .'", "slug": "' . "somename" .'", "manufacturer": 1, "description": "' . "somedesc" . '" }';
or
$data = '{ "name": "' . "SOMENAME" .'", "slug": "' . "somename" .'", "manufacturer": { "id": ' . "1" . ' }, "description": "' . "somedesc" . '" }';

Now I see this message when I want to add a new platform or manufacturer

<class 'django.db.utils.ProgrammingError'>

relation "extras_objectchange" does not exist
LINE 1: INSERT INTO "extras_objectchange" ("time", "user_id", "user_...

# \d extras_objectchange
Did not find any relation named "extras_objectchange".

python3 manage.py migrate didn't help

I think it's not normal that I broke the database structure using APIs

Also how can I fix it ?

Hello quantum909,

Thank you for your message and pointing me this issue #17401

Indeed, I upgraded to 4.1.0 from 4.0.11 but then moved back to 4.0.11.
However, I was coding using APIs and it worked after this upgrade/downgrade.

It seemed to me that I did and action through API that caused this.
