📄 Description

Fixes: #20646

Restricts creating cable terminations for endpoints flagged as "mark connected" to avoid the invalid state of being both virtually connected and physically cabled. The validation is implemented in dcim.CableTermination.clean(), ensuring consistent behavior across the UI, REST API, and CSV import. Includes a test covering the rejection case.

Summary of Changes

  • Add a guard in CableTermination.clean() to raise ValidationError when termination.mark_connected == True.
  • Keep the check generic so it applies to any cabled model exposing mark_connected (e.g., interfaces, power/power-feed ports, front/rear ports, circuit terminations).
  • Add test exercising:
    • rejection when the endpoint is mark_connected
