Currently if you select a rack face and/or position when adding a child device, there's an error reported:
netbox-child-add
Wouldn't it be better to disable the options for child devices instead of let the user run into the error?

Thanks for the fast fix!

Additionally, shouldn't this also be disabled if a new device is going to be created and a child hardware device type is selected?

Exactly meant is the page "Devices/Add a device" (/dcim/devices/add/).

@jeremystretch Should I open a new issue or do you want to reopen this one?
