NetBox version

v4.4.7

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Include an optional comments field on models which inherit from OrganizationalModel for consistency with PrimaryModel and NestedGroupModel. This involves provisioning the database field for all relevant models as well as updating the necessary application components (forms, serializers, etc.).

Use case

This will allow users to record arbitrary comments on all organizational models and achieve consistency with the other base classes.

Database changes

Add a CharField named comments on the abstract class OrganizationalModel, which will create the field for all child classes.
