Please notice that nothing stops you from defining a non managed (ie Django migrations won't mess with it) model pointing to the same table and having declared only three of the fields of the original model.

The Django docs also mention that https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/db/models/#diff...

> If you are mirroring an existing model or database table and don’t want all the original database table columns, use Meta.managed=False.
