Proposed Changes

Some time ago, we converted the default primary key for all NetBox models to 64-bit BigAutoFields (a derivative of BigIntegerField). However, we did not do the same for integer fields which are used as part of a GenericForeignKey reference. These fields also need to be converted.

Justification

This ensures that the GenericForeignKey relationships continue to function normally in the unlikely event that a user exceeds the maximum value of PositiveIntegerField.
