Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create & upload a custom script with the following content:
from extras.scripts import Script
from tenancy.models import Tenant


class TestSnapshots(Script):
    def run(self, data: dict, commit: bool) -> str:
        tenant = Tenant.objects.get(name="tenant a")
        tenant.snapshot()
        tenant.description = "updated from event rule"
        tenant.full_clean()
        tenant.save()
  1. Create Tenant with name tenant a. Leave description empty.
  2. Create EventRule that will run script. Exact values don't matter, for example:
    • object types: Contact group
    • event types: Create
    • action type: Script
    • script: script uploaded above
  3. Create Tenant group with any values
  4. Check Changelog for Tenant tenant a.

Expected Behavior

An update changelog entry for tenant a is created that indicates change of tenant description.

Observed Behavior

No changelog entry is created.

@pheus commented on GitHub (Nov 6, 2025):

When an EventRule runs a Script, NetBox enqueues the job without passing the originating request into the job. Because change logging relies on the current request context, the post‑save signal handler bails out and no ObjectChange is created.

This is related to #14896.
