Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.2.2

Python Version

3.10

Steps to Reproduce

I have two Netbox deployments (dev 4.2.2) and Prod (4.1.10). I noticed that on 4.2.2, when previously look at Prefixes>IP Addresses (tab) there used to be a green button (attached picture) that would let you click and auto populate with the next available IP address. This appears to be missing in the current version (possibly earlier versions between updates).

Expected Behavior

Big green button appear

Observed Behavior

No green button appear.

I upgraded my prod to v4.2.1 and seems to still exist there as well.

Works fine on 4.2.2 here. Do you have any custom sorting for the table in place? The green button only shows up for default ordering.

I do not, to double check I back into a prefix, went to configure table, and clicked reset, but that didn't resolve the issue.

FWIW this is what it looks like.

You still have a custom sorting active, actually. See the red x in the IP address column header. Click on it to clear it and the button(s) should appear.

Weird, not sure where that's stored. I clicked the X and that did restore the buttons. Thanks all for your help.

I've had this exact issue with VLANs, with the same realization regarding the sorting. It seems like this causes enough confusion to warrant some small design "nudge" to make users aware that a filter is active and is preventing the "Available IP" and "Available VLAN" buttons from showing. Maybe making the column header brighter if an active filter is applied?

Yeah, it's subtle. Definitely got me in the past a couple times as well.

@kollross I'm closing this issue as it isn't a bug. If you feel it warranted can you please open a feature request to make the button visible if sorting?
