NetBox version

v4.0.8

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I would like to have a Comments field on Locations, which supports markdown the same as we have on other objects.

Use case

I currently have a URL custom field on each Location, linking to a folder which contains all the relevant config files and construction drawings for that room. Sometimes there is a need to include more than one link here. I think a comments field would be a better way to store this info, using Markdown to make long URLs look more friendly.

I would also use this field to store brief operational notes on each room.

This would apply not only to the Location model, but all models which inherit from NestedGroupModel (e.g. regions, site groups, etc.).
