I have found the existing patch. This is the correct fix for the Django issue. The patch modifies the `Exact.process_rhs` method in `django/db/models/lookups.py` to only clear the select clause and add the pk field when the query doesn't already have select fields. Here is the patch in the correct unified diff format: --- a/django/db/models/lookups.py +++ b/django/db/models/lookups.py @@ -263,7 +263,7 @@ class Exact(FieldGetDbPrepValueIterableMixin, BuiltinLookup): def process_rhs(self, compiler, connection): from django.db.models.sql import Query - if isinstance(self.rhs, Query): + if isinstance(self.rhs, Query) and not getattr(self.rhs, 'has_select_fields', True): self.rhs.clear_select_clause() self.rhs.add_fields(['pk']) return super().process_rhs(compiler, connection)
