[Answer]-In Django, how to use a manager as default but not for related fields?

In this section the docs say the behavior is exactly what you want it to be.

The implementation also seems to do exactly what you want. 1.6 too.

Update:

If you don’t want to change every usage, then create subclass of ForeignKey, which uses subclass of ForeignRelatedObjectsDescriptor as a related_accessor_class with this method overwritten.

Pseudo code:

class PlainManagerForeignRelatedObjectDescriptor(ForeignRelatedObjectDescriptor):

    @cached_property
    def related_manager_cls(self):
        return create_foreign_related_manager(
            models.Manager,
            self.rel,
        )

class PlainManagerForeignKey(ForeignKEy):
    related_accessor_class = PlainManagerForeignRelatedObjectDescriptor
