Originally created by @supertassu on GitHub (May 11, 2025).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.3.0

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new device
  2. Create a new inventory item (Add components -> Inventory items, add some name)
  3. On the device inventory item list, select the item you created and click "edit selected"
  4. Do any edit to the item data (for example, set the "description" field to "test")
  5. Click "Apply"

Expected Behavior

Edits are saved

Observed Behavior

An error pops up in the bottom right corner ("This field cannot be null.")

I believe this error happens because the "Device" field is for some reason not being populated on the bulk edit form by default. In addition to fixing the form to populate the field, it'd be nice if the error message would actually identify the field with the problem.

Thanks for the report, @supertassu . It looks like in this case the Device field is the one generating the error message. A short-term workaround is to simply select the device before saving. I realize that's not ideal, but better than the alternative until this is fixed.

Thanks!

Note: This only happens when bulk editing inventory items from a specific device. It seems to work fine when performing a bulk edit from the global inventory items list.
