Originally created by @andershagman on GitHub (Jul 27, 2018).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.5
  • NetBox version: 2.3.7

Proposed Functionality

Add a button to custom fields, or any field, as done with traffic graphs that trigger a modal pop up.
The function will hand over object information imbedded in an url.

Use Case

Simple way to make interactive registrations in foreign systems.
Ex: DNS, DHCP or ISE mac registration
The url trigger a foreign systems form inside the modal.
In this way it can support any system as long as the form can be shown correctly in the modal.

Database Changes

External Dependencies

Non as I can see.

This seems needlessly complicated. Why not just link to the external form?

I would like to have a way to include links to outside systems, but the link should open in a new window, not inside Netbox. I think this would fall as a use case for having externals links available.

My proposal perhaps isn't the best but as "mmahacek" says a link to external sites would be super and in a new window. Why I proposed a modal pop up is just from a users perspective not getting lost in the "web". But also the ability to insert variables as in the picture below. The custom field DNS-reg is an url field but does not allow a node part. The Plats field is text and not a url. The comments field cut the url in half.

Yes, and it would be sufficient.
