Originally created by @1024834 on GitHub (May 16, 2025).

NetBox version

v4.2.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Bulk-edit contact information of any number of objects selected in the WebUI.

Use case

Assigning a contact to lots of objects (i.e. devices) at once, saving lots of time.

Today, contacts must be assigned one by one, or with a script, which is possible but tedious for such a simple task.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

I think this makes sense, but we need to do some work around supporting bulk operations generally first. I'll move this to the backlog for now.

Idk if it answers your needs but tenancy/contact-assignments/ can bulk-import + bulk-edit the relationship between contacts and the objects.

Hi,

Adding one more detail to this thread:

One problem with the “Contact Assignment Bulk Import” is that one of the required fields is the contact’s name.

But there can be more than one “John Smith” in the contacts, and that makes the import fail, saying the name isn’t unique.

“Record 1 contact: ‘John Smith’ is not a unique value for this field; multiple objects were found”

It would need to be changed to the contact ID or some other alternative.

Bulk delete should also be part of this feature.
