Originally created by @SonamorN on GitHub (Sep 5, 2025).

NetBox version

v4.4.0

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently you can create fields within a custom field but there is not way to define which one should be filled, first second etc.

So if you define a data model which make logical sense to fill out specific details in the beginning, that's not possible as there are sorted not randomly, but not sure how. Surely not alphabetically.

We should be able to define which one we want to show first in the list, second etc.

Use case

You may introduce a new object e.g. a Team concept, where someone should first fill in the name of the team before filling out the email of a team or the telephone of a team.

Database changes

Hey @SonamorN have you looked at the grouping and weighting options for this? That should allow you to create sections such as "Contact details", "extra information" and also set the ordering in the GUI

Hi @SonamorN, this looks like an issue for the netbox-custom-objects plugin. Please submit a new issue to that repo if needed.
