  • NetBox version: 2.1.4

Description

IPAM IP-Address form could inherit tenant information from a prefix, especially in local subnets. I would propose an addition to prefixes that would define if information is inherited or not. Public IP-spaces would most likely not need this while when working with private address spaces it's common for the IP owner to be the same as the prefix.

This would reduce the amount of clicks required and be a good quality of life improvement. This would require a new boolean in the prefix table that is checked when "Add a new IP address" form is opened when adding an IP within the prefix. At t he moment VRF is inherited.

Can't seem to get this to work. Upgraded to 2.2.1 with Python 2.7.5. Anyone else able to confirm?
