Feature type

Other

Proposed functionality

On the device interface table/tab, connections from an interface to other (device) interfaces render with "%device > %interfacename" (both links to the respective netbox items).
When connecting a cable from an interface to a circuit termination side, the row of the interface is highlighted green (connected) but the connection does not link to the other side of the cable (ie. "%circuit_name > %circuit_termination):

The trace itself renders correctly, and the termination also shows a correct connection to the device interface (just not the reverse):

Use case

Clear overview / direct link from device interface page to the connected circuit (just like for interfaces).

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Mar 6, 2025):

NetBox traces cable paths across circuits: If there's something on the far end of the circuit, the connection will be displayed on the interfaces list. In this case, the path across the circuit is incomplete, so there's no connection to report. (If the circuit is meant to provided connectivity to a network or service rather than a specific endpoint, you could connect the far end of the circuit to a provider network object.)
