Description:
While editting a table, I can change a Text column to be the Auto Increment column.  If this is the only change I make, while the checkmark moves from my primary key column to the text column, if I click Save it states that there are no changes to save.

How to repeat:
Check a text column to auto increment

Suggested fix:
Only allow auto increment on column types that support this.
