NetBox Edition

NetBox Community

NetBox Version

v4.4.5

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

Comment out Device bulk_edit registration:

# @register_model_view(Device, 'bulk_edit', path='edit', detail=False)
class DeviceBulkEditView(generic.BulkEditView):

Restart NetBox
Visit Device list view

Note: While users wouldn’t modify NetBox code, this illustrates a plugin’s without support for bulk operations.

Expected Behavior

If no bulk views are registered, the related buttons (edit and delete) should be hidden.

Observed Behavior

The buttons are displayed, but they lead users to an error 404.

View registration has no impact on this. Support for bulk operations is inferred from the actions defined for a view. As a plugin author, you are responsible for defining the set of supported actions on a view should they differ from the default. For example:

@register_model_view(RackReservation, 'list', path='', detail=False)
class RackReservationListView(generic.ObjectListView):
    actions = (AddObject, BulkImport, BulkExport, BulkEdit, BulkDelete)

See the ActionsMixin class for further details.
