NetBox version

v4.2.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

when viewing an inventory object that has children, it would be great if the children view listed the children of those child objects

Use case

we model our raid cards in a very detailed way:
inventory object (raid card)

  • inventory object (child) - storage slot number - aka ssd bay number or pci lane numbers in the case of nvme breakout cables
    • inventory object (subchild) - ssd/disk in storage slot above.

right now when viewing the children of the top level inventory item (raid card) on the "children" tab in that inventory item. you cant see the actual disk's just the first level of children inside that inventory item
