NetBox version

v4.2.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

add "role" choice field (it could use the rack roles as a source list or a dedicated roles list)

Use case

being able to document the usecase for a reservation would be useful.

some reservations are very obvious (mostly colocation) but in a lot of cases we have reservations in racks for proposed networking or power usecases.

being able to easily filter down reservations to their usecase would be great

Database changes

add role choice field to reservations model

External dependencies

No response

It seems like this is something that could be handled fairly easily with custom fields with a set of custom choices. Rack roles would be a bit to esoteric for a core field--we don't want to over-complicate the data model.
