Originally created by @ebusto on GitHub (Aug 16, 2018).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.4
  • NetBox version: 2.4.3

Steps to Reproduce

Create a VM cluster, then assign a device to the cluster using the web UI.

Expected Behavior

A changelog entry for the device indicating that the cluster field has been updated.

Observed Behavior

No changelog was generated.

I believe this is due to NetBox updating the devices en masse with objects.filter(...).update(...). Unfortunately, there is a Django bug (marked will not fix) that prevents this from sending signals.

The simple fix would be to loop through the devices and update them individually.
