Description (last modified by Tim Graham)

Per the title, it seems like it would make sense to be able to filter annotations across relationships. Given the following,

from django.db import models
from django.db.models import Value as V
from django.db.models.functions import Concat


class PersonManager(models.Manager):
    use_for_related_fields = True

    def get_queryset(self):
        queryset = super(PersonManager, self).get_queryset()
        queryset = queryset.annotate(full_name=Concat(
            'first_name', V(' '), 'last_name',
            output_field=models.CharField()
        ))
        return queryset


class Person(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    objects = PersonManager()


class Article(models.Model):
    published = models.DateTimeField()
    author = models.ForeignKey(Person, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

Running this:

Article.objects.filter(author__full_name="Bob, just Bob")

Produced the following traceback (snipped)

  ...
  File "site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 790, in filter

Summary: Unable to filter annotations across relationships.Unable to filter against annotations in Manager with use_for_related_fields

I think you have a misunderstanding of how use_for_related_fields works. The queryset in the custom manager isn't used in a query like Article.objects.filter(...) is it? If I'm missing something obvious and you have a patch demonstrating how your proposal works, then please reopen the ticket with details.
