The docs for migrations recommend a call to Base#resetcolumninformation after adding columns if you then need to populate them. Like you, I’ve found it’s not always necessary, but I reckon it’s good to get into the habit, especially if future versions of Rails cache more information than currently.

Just add ‘Team.resetcolumninformation’ after your add_column lines and you’re covered.
