NetBox version

v4.4.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently in various Filter views, it is possible to search for devices, modules, cables unassigned to a Tenant, Rack, Region etc using "None" as a selection option.

I'm proposing that "None" is also made an option in the Tags field much like it already is in other fields. Essentially enables a filter specific for devices with no tags applied at all.

Use case

Gives an additional function to filtering in NetBox.

For example, I may initially setup a large environment where some devices aren't tagged. Later on I want to find which ones aren't tagged to assess whether tagging is necessary. These may be across multiple device types, racks, locations so having "None" as a filter for tagging enables me to just look at those specific devices which have no tags applied at all.

Database changes

Suspect no DB Changes Required

External dependencies

N/A

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Sep 29, 2025):

The filter for this already exists (e.g. GET /api/dcim/sites/?tag=null); only the addition of a "None" option to the filter options in the UI appears to be needed.
