trouble on empty classes/tables in the admininterface

[bionic@…]

i have created on class in the app-folder:

models.py

class Foobar(models.Model):

class Admin:

pass

if i do a python manage.py syncdb is all fine the table would be created and all is fine.

BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE "polls_foobar" (

"id" serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY

);
COMMIT;

if i connect to the webinterface for this table and try to add try to add an entry django throws an expection:

IndexError at /admin/polls/foobar/add/
list index out of range

if i guess right that django would not check if an table is empty?

Feels like a duplicate of #1972.
