Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.5.2

I am working in a ISP having around 10000 customers of different categories at the moment, customer will increase with time. Customers are differentiated by a unique 9-digit number.

I have 5000 tenants under a particular tenant group, these are to be increased with time as customers increases. When assigning a /32 IP address to any customer, I cannot see more than 1000 tenants of that group from drop-down menu, whereas I must be able to select/see all tenant under particular tenant group.

Proposed Functionality

There can be two possibilities for that.

  1. Drop-down shows all tenants of the group selected, let it be 10,000+
  2. There should be a field to fill manually, but for this option entered tenant must be created earlier.

I'm sure this is not due to any limitation on my system, from where I am viewing. I have used multiple browsers, different systems, but I am facing issue everywhere.

This could be due to limitation of database or something.

This will probably be taken care with Select2, which @lampwins is working on in the select2-ui branch.
