Deployment Type

Self-hosted

Triage priority

N/A

NetBox Version

v4.1.4

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a DeviceType with FrontPorts
  2. Create a Device using the DeviceType
  3. Delete all FrontPorts, there are now zero FrontPorts
  4. Add the add_device_type_components.py script as custom script, https://github.com/netbox-community/customizations/blob/master/scripts/add_device_type_components.py
  5. Import DeviceType component via custom script.
  6. Check the Device, there is no tab for FronPorts due to "front_port_count" is 0
  7. If editing URL to get FrontPorts by appending /front-ports/ to URL you will see them
  8. If now deleting them again the number of FronPorts will now be a minus number

Expected Behavior

I expect the front_port_count should be related to the number of front ports on the device

Observed Behavior

Below is output from API for device

After running script

{
  < snip snip >

   "created": "2024-11-11T13:49:51.948244Z",
    "last_updated": "2024-11-11T13:49:51.948265Z",
    "console_port_count": 0,
    "console_server_port_count": 0,
    "power_port_count": 0,
    "power_outlet_count": 0,
    "interface_count": 0,
    "front_port_count": 0,
    "rear_port_count": 1,
    "device_bay_count": 0,
    "module_bay_count": 0,
    "inventory_item_count": 0
}

After deleting the front ports again

{
  < snip snip >

    "created": "2024-11-11T13:49:51.948244Z",
    "last_updated": "2024-11-11T13:49:51.948265Z",
    "console_port_count": 0,
    "console_server_port_count": 0,
    "power_port_count": 0,
    "power_outlet_count": 0,
    "interface_count": 0,
    "front_port_count": -16,
    "rear_port_count": 1,
    "device_bay_count": 0,
    "module_bay_count": 0,
    "inventory_item_count": 0
}

We are unable to accept bug reports which rely on custom scripting to reproduce, as this does not necessarily indicate a bug in NetBox. If you'd like assistance with developing a custom script to avoid unwanted behavior, please open a discussion instead.
