Dear NetBox Team, we trying to add our N305 bare bones to the racks (width 155mm), however in an older version of NetBox there was a section "Outer dimensions", which is not anymore in the actual 4.3.2 version.
Is there another way how we can add three bare bones to one unit high (1U) to the rack section?

@MrEnergy64 , this feels more like a bug report than a feature request. Please provide more details.

What do you mean by 'there was a section "Outer dimensions"'? Where was that found? Is it the still currently existing "Outer Dimension" in the RackType add/edit form (see below)?

If this was truly something that broken accidentally (as opposed to intentially removed), please close this feature request and open a new bug report with specific details on how to recreate the issue from a clean NetBox install.

Have you assigned a rack type to the rack? If so, you won't be able to set certain attributes (such as outer dimensions) on the rack itself, as these are defined by the type.

Ok, thanks for your answers. That "RACK TYPE" part I did not use it, better I had this not on my screen/mind. Sorry for it.
I just created a normal Rack (without any rack type) and tried to add my three bare bones to one shelf. Therefore I come back to my question:

"Is there another way how we can add three bare bones to one unit high (1U) to the rack section?" Any help welcome, when it is possible.

And sorry for it, when this is the wrong section for my question.
