Description
Fields like history_entry/model_id get columns within the same table of that collection in the shape of model_id_user_id and model_id_motion_id. This could theoretically lead to doubling of column names. We should have a check for this in validate.py.

Research direction
Start by reading validate.py and trace how generic relation fields are converted into column names. Add a validation check for duplicate generated names such as model_id_user_id and model_id_motion_id, then verify that the validator reports this collision.
