Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.5.3

Proposed Functionality

Extend the Tag model to include an arbitrary comment/description field.

Use Case

It would be very helpful to have the ability to record a description or note for each tag. For example, a tag foobar9k might have the description "This resource is monitored by the FooBar9000 NMS."

A description can be set only once a tag has been created.

Database Changes

This will involve migrating away from the stock model provided by the django-taggit package. Further research is needed to determine how disruptive this will be, but probably not very.

External Dependencies

None
