Re: upgrading from 1.11 and ran into builtin permission clash

I could try that.

So far I've made a toy project to reproduce the problem and made a migration in 1.11 to remove the permission. When I started it up in 2.2 it suddenly said I had unapplied migrations in admin and auth.

I don't know if renaming would have the same effect. I'll try it.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/2.1/#model-view-permission is liekly the permission being hit.  OP, would it be possible for you to rename the original permission name in a migration in 1.11, and then move forward with the migration?

You could rename the current view_inventorychangelog record with a data migration to avoid the constraint, upgrade to 2.2, and then move any references to the old DB record to the new using a data migration.

The options for uplifting severely out of date projects are to either step-by-step migrate through older versions, or rewrite in the target version.
