Deployment Type

Self-hosted

Triage priority

N/A

NetBox Version

v4.1.8

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to Add a new device role
  2. Attempt to enter a HEX Code in the Color field

My interpretation of the text hint is custom HEX colours are supported, in this field.

Expected Behavior

A custom colour should be applied to the field.

Observed Behavior

It does not let the user enter a custom colour.

@jeremystretch Understood.

Since it's not actually a feature, I'd like to suggest the help text be clarified or removed then.

Specifically, my conclusion was the example HEX code, which led me to believe I could specify my own colour.

If you agree, I'm happy to submit a simple PR with one of the changes above.
