Environment

Python version: 3.6
NetBox version: 2.5.1

Steps to Reproduce

1.) create 3 Patchpanels in devices
2.) create first f.e.g 10 rearports on every device "Cable x"1-3" Rear Port[0-10] "
3.) after that create f.e.g 10 frontports on every device "Cable x"1-3" Front Port[0-10] "
4.) now click on "edit port" from a front port on one of these devices.
5.)in the edit mask move to the dropdown menu from "Rear port" and change the mapped port
editing front port cable
6.) now you will recognize that all ports from all devices are listed and no limitation is happening.
7.) if you do not have unique ports created like in this example and for sure everyone has templates for devices where all ports are named the same (Port 1-10) and not Patchpanel 10 Port1-10, Patchpanel 11 Port 1-10, Patchpanel 12 1-10, then no correct mapping is possible and you choose the wrong rear port for your front port mapping.
8.) A limitation on the current device only should happen when you click on the dropdown menu.

hope this helps to reproduce the bug, as this constellation is not so easy to understand.

Expected Behavior

please limit the choice in drop down mask to edited device only with a "where device" only code, so that not all rear ports are listed in drop down menu from all devices.

Observed Behavior

@hotschmaster23 commented on GitHub (Dec 21, 2018):

If you assign a wrong port, the mask will display an error

Errors

Rear port (Cable 11 Rear Port0) must belong to the same device

what is correct. So error handling is correct but no limitation is done in the drop down menu
