Could you please give the migration a proper name (-n option to makemigrations) e.g. local_conf_auto_conf

I'm not sure this is practical, for two reasons:

1) Field sizes should not be variable like this; changing the MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE value after the fact would not change the database structure
2) The value could never actually reach MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE because the overhead of the surrounding JSON would block it from being uploaded if it did

However, since this is a TextField we don't actually have to specify a max_length (for a TextField max_length only actually affects the frontend, and we don't expose this field in a form) so it can just be removed.

Another thing, instead of default="" you should use blank=True.

We cannot use the safe filter here - doing so could open up an XSS vulnerability, since anyone can upload anything to the error-report application and the content could include links or other malicious HTML data. We should allow it to be auto-escaped. Is there a particular issue you were using this to solve?
