NetBox version

v4.3.0-Docker-3.2.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Whilst there is the ability to export Circuit Terminations and Virtual Circuit Terminations using the Export / All Data (CSV), there is no way to export the data in a format that can be used to ingest back into Netbox using export templates.

The object type Circuits > Circuit Terminations and Circuits > Virtual Circuit Terminations are not available when creating and Export Template.

This was originally raised as a bug https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/19387 but was rejected, so I'm raising this as a request for this needed feature.

Use case

This will allow the exporting of (Virtual) Circuit Terminations in a format that can be worked on and amended and re-imported back into Netbox when creating new (virtual) circuits or amending existing ones.

Currently, the exported data from Export / All Data (CSV) report has to have all its headers amended into the required format for reimporting back into Netbox as this export is not in a suitable format for re-importing back into Netbox.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

This seems like a good case for a plugin
