I did some research, and it looks like the select box to set the MAC address as primary is missing.

This is why the MAC is not showing on the interface page.

The MAC address field in the Table configuration is set to this : primary_mac_address

If i update the missing field using bulk import, the MAC is showing.

`is_primary: 'true'

Do we need to add the "Is primary" checkbox to the models_form ?

Image

It would also be helpfull to have the "Is primary_mac_address" status option in the Table configuration for the MAC address page.

When you edit the interface after creating the MAC, you can select it as the primary MAC for the interface from that screen. I came here to add a feature request for a "Set as Primary" on the Add MAC address screen though because that gets tedious when adding manually.

Hi Xeluior,

A "Set as Primary" button would be very helpful and would spare a lot of clicks and time.
Since the option is available during bulk import, i don't think it is hard to provide the same function in the Add MAC address screen.

Closing this as a duplicate of #18878, which itself should actually be a feature request.
