Adding assignment to custom field.
It doesn't have to be a required field but it could help a lot of people.

I want to have the option to link 2 custom field.
Meaning I would like to have 2 custom fields, which one is assigned to other,
it will act as "is_primary" in the IPAM --> IP Addresses. and "Primary IPv4" in DCIM --> Devices.

Currently there is no real option to do this, and developing a plugin for this fills like a huge overkill.
Is there a reason for not having this?
