✅

You can do something like:

def add_user(apps, schema_editor): 
    apps.get_model('myapp', 'Foo').objects.filter(user_id=1).update(
        user=apps.get_model('auth', 'User').objects.create_user(username='anonymous')
    )

This works because in this case “no type is checked”, the query will use a reference to the entry in the DB instead: the ID of the user.
