Issue type

[x] Feature request

We use rack groups to group racks within a site by room. It would be useful to configure custom fields on rack groups as well to store extra information such as room number, locking info, floor level.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2017):

This has come up before, so I've added a section in the FAQ for it. The short answer is that we don't associate extra data with organizational models because they don't have dedicated views, and including custom fields in a list view incurs a substantial performance penalty.
