This is done by navigating to the parent device and clicking the button to add an IP to the desired interface. Click the "Assign IP" tab and search for the IP. This approach was chosen because it is much simpler than trying to select a device or VM and interface from within the IP address form.

Thanks for the pointer!

I do feel though that one should also be able to link in the other direction.

If one has navigated to the IP Address which needs to be linked to a device, one has to open a new tab and tackle it from the other direction which makes it a little less efficient.

Just something to consider.....
