NetBox version

v4.4.0-beta1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

NetBox provides the option to add multiple new components (e.g. console ports or interfaces) to multiple devices at once, by selecting the desired devices and clicking the "add components" button at the bottom of the list. However, this form does not include an option to execute as a background job, which is available for most other bulk operations.

Use case

This would allow the user to defer long-running operations to the background.
