Device Roles in Device Types

[LHBL2003]

NetBox version

v4.0.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Add the Device Roles field as optional in Device Types

and enable the enumeration in the Device Roles properties under "Related Objects".

The number should then also be listed in the Device Roles area.

Use case

In Netbox, we maintain the device roles for the devices and VMs. These are often designations such as firewall, printer, fax, access point, etc. Most roles are hardware-specific. We would also like to reuse the device roles in the Device Types area. At the moment, we have solved this by using a TAG with the same name or by creating a customer field. However, after clicking on the link under "Related Objects" in the Customer Field, the Device Types area is not displayed, which is not so nice.

We would therefore prefer a proper integration of the Device Role field. Or the adjustment that the Device Types are also listed under Related Objects.
