Deployment Type

Self-hosted

Triage priority

N/A

NetBox Version

v4.0.11

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

First up, i want to say that i'm sadly not able to reproduce this on a fresh installation of Netbox. I'm looking for debugging advice since I'm not able to diagnose why this is happening on our production instance.

  • Install the netbox BGP plugin
  • Open the form to create a new custom field: /extras/custom-fields/add/

Expected Behavior

I expect the models from the BGP plugin to show up in the dropdown for the object types selection. They do on a fresh install.

Observed Behavior

The models from the BGP plugin are missing while I see other models and also models from other plugins. I have opened an issue with them, but i'm not sure anything is wrong with the plugin.

What I'm looking for is advice for how to debug this situation so that it becomes reproducible. Or could this be a configuration problem?

What I've done so far:
I've used the nbshell to dig into the data the object types widget uses.

>>> list(ObjectType.objects.with_feature("custom_fields"))
[ ...
<ObjectType: BGP | routing policy>, <ObjectType: BGP | bgp peer group>, <ObjectType: BGP | community>, <ObjectType: BGP | community list>, <ObjectType: BGP | community list rule>, <ObjectType: BGP | prefix list>, <ObjectType: BGP | prefix list rule>, <ObjectType: BGP | bgp session>, <ObjectType: BGP | routing policy rule>]

Here's a screenshot showing that the BGP models are missing at the place where they should be:

Just dropping in to say check your permission roles if you have that setup, may need to allow scopes added by the plugin.

It should not apply if you're a superuser I imagine, so most likely a bug then :). Good luck!

@mraerino can you please open this as a discussion and close this ticket? You will probably get more response as a discussion.

@mraerino I had exactly the same issue with a custom-developed plugin. So, I searched for the error in the source code of our plugin.
After some testing, I noticed that no custom fields from plugins that are loaded after the 'netbox_attachments' plugin are being loaded.
I haven't pinpointed the exact error yet, but if you move 'netbox_attachments' to the last position, the other plugins work fine. Are you also using 'netbox_attachments'?

Netbox: 4.1.3
