Environment

  • Python version: 3.7
  • NetBox version: develop-2.6

Proposed Functionality

In 2.6, NetBox migrates to use its own custom Tag model in place of the vanilla taggit model. In line with this change, the new Tag model should be made to be a Changelog model.

Use Case

Most all models in NetBox carry with them a changelog and since we now control the Tag model, this addition is trivial.

Database Changes

Tag will subclass ChangeLoggedModel and thus gain created and last_updated fields.

External Dependencies

None

Include any specific changes to work flows, data models, or the user interface. --> ### Proposed Functionality In 2.6, NetBox migrates to use its own custom `Tag` model in place of the vanilla taggit model. In line with this change, the new Tag model should be made to be a Changelog model. <!-- Convey an example use case for your proposed feature. Write from the perspective of a NetBox user who would benefit from the proposed functionality and describe how. ---> ### Use Case Most all models in NetBox carry with them a changelog and since we now control the Tag model, this addition is trivial. <!-- Note any changes to the database schema necessary to support the new feature. For example, does the proposal require adding a new model or field? (Not all new features require database changes.) ---> ### Database Changes `Tag` will subclass `ChangeLoggedModel` and thus gain `created` and `last_updated` fields. <!-- List any new dependencies on external libraries or services that this new feature would introduce.
