Hi, After update to netbox 3.2.2 and netbox-sync last in dev branch i had some error with vmware custom attributes as i mention in https://github.com/bb-Ricardo/netbox-sync/discussions/178#discussioncomment-2745620

my old custom field created by netbox-sync was "vcsa_last-backup", my new field created by new netbox-sync was "vcsa_last_backup".

What i did :

  • change description of OLD custom field
  • delete OLD custom field in netbox
  • configure table in list with new available column of new custom field

Text:

If you're upgrading from older NetBox versions be aware of the change of custom_fields. Only _ are allowed since 3.2 and - are not permitted anymore. example: vcsa_last-backup will turn into vcsa_last_backup

What you need to do in NetBox:

  • change description of OLD custom field
  • delete OLD custom field in NetBox
  • configure table in list with new available column of new custom field in NetBox after the sync completed
