Hello @ymjpajak,

Thank you for opening this issue.

First of all, this is not a "Device Bulk Import", this an API call. Second, I just rerviewed the API spec and parent or device_bay are not valid fields on the POST API for /dcim/devices/.

This is likely intended as the proper way to install a device in the device bay would be after it has been created (similar to how in the GUI you need to first create the device, then go to the parent device to insert it) and then use the device_bay PATCH operation to install the device.

Please correct your bug report or open a feature request.
