NetBox version

v3.7.0

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

When adding a device to a rack there is only the possibility to create a device.

However many times we just want to include an existing device in a determined rack and unit.

Today the only solution is to go to the device and define the Position and Rack manually. This is much slower as you have to type in the rack name and unit.

Feature request: add the possibility to include an existing device with the add device option which will automatically populate the unit and rack selected in the device information.

Use case

Today the only solution is to go to the device and define the Position and Rack manually. This is much slower as you have to type in the rack name and unit.

If 10 devices have to be added on a rack you have to iterate over each of them instead of managing everything from the rack with a clear view of all the units and automatic parameter calculation.

Database changes

No

External dependencies

No
