NetBox version

v4.2.8

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Image
In Device Type view, add a button to add new device with the device type pre-filled in.

Use case

Currently adding a new device from UI requires searching for the device twice, likely using two tabs to do it - first searching if the device exists and adding it, then while having the device type open, going to "add new device" and having to search for it from the device type combobox again (often having to keep the device type in clipboard or open in separate tab for copy paste). Adding a simple "add new device" in the device type view would streamline device adding process a lot and save a bunch of clicks.

This wouldn't work in general, Releated objects can be many different types of objects. This would also break consistency as this paradigm would could also be put on device roles and many others which would overload the UI.
