NetBox version

v4.2.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add a tooltip feature that displays the tag description when hovering over it in the Device and VM general views. This could improve the user experience and enhance the usability of the interface.

Use case

Currently, the Device and VM views do not display tag descriptions. This creates a minor inconvenience for users, as it requires additional steps to access information about the purpose of a tag.

Database changes

This proposal does not include any database changes.

This should just entail extending the utilities/templates/builtins/tag.html template to include a title attribute on each tag set to its description.
