Reverse lookups on OneToOneField not working?

[Willem Van Onsem]

This ​StackOverflow post shows a scenario where a OneToOneField is filtered on top of another OneToOneField. So for example with the following modeling:

class Switch(models.Model):
    fqdn = models.CharField(max_length=45, unique=True)

class ConfigState(models.Model):
    switch = models.OneToOneField(Switch, models.CASCADE, db_column='switch', primary_key=True,
                                  related_name='config_state')

class EdgeSwitch(models.Model):
    switch = models.OneToOneField(Switch, models.CASCADE, db_column='switch', primary_key=True,
                                      related_name='edge_switch')

The query EdgeSwitch.objects.filter(switch__config_state=1) does (no longer) work. On Django-3.x it apparently worked.

I cannot reproduce the issue against main or stable/5.1.x with the following patch based on the provided models

Please re-open if you can provide a set of models that trigger a FieldError.

I found the missing part: the Switch model needs to have managed = False. A bit curious that this has impact, so:

class Switch(models.Model):
    fqdn = models.CharField(max_length=45, unique=True)
    
    class Meta:
        managed = False

I think I got it, the tables got an app_label, but that was probably not registered.
