NetBox version

v4.3.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I would like to see the min and/or at least the max supported Netbox version on the Plugins Overview page.

Use case

Before upgrading Netbox I always have to check each plugin by itself which is the supported Netbox version to not loose the Plugins functionality after upgrade. Currently this is a manual annoying task. It would reduce work and headaches quite significantly.

Database changes

I dont think there are any, since the catalog data comes via API.

External dependencies

Data seems to already be available in the api request to the catalog e.g.:

        "netbox_min_version": "4.2.4",
        "netbox_max_version": "4.2.9",

The compatibility information is available on each plugin's detail view; this is all we can support as showing the version window in the list view for all table items introduces complexity that may be too great. This information can also be fetched via the API.

No, because it provides incomplete information. Users need to be aware of all potential upgrade options.
