Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.5.10 / 2.6 dev

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a cable with one end connected to the A or Z termination of a circuit
  2. View that cable in the API, confirming that termination_a_type or termination_b_type is returned as circuits.circuittermination
  3. View the /dcim/_choices/ endpoint, confirm that cable:termination_a_type does not have circuits.circuittermination listed.

Expected Behavior

Return a circuit termination 'choice' table in the _choices API for cable:termination_a_type/cable:termination_b_type:

{
  "label": "circuit termination",
  "value": "circuits.circuittermination"
},

Observed Behavior

Only dcim.* object types are shown as choices for cable:termination_a_type/cable:termination_b_type

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (May 2, 2019):

I was trying to figure out why this wasn't causing issues when connecting a cable to a circuit termination. It's because the cable creation forms currently (in v2.5) only allow connecting a cable from a circuit termination to some device component; the "B" side is never a circuit termination. Hence why this was missed.

It's because the cable creation forms currently (in v2.5) only allow connecting a cable _from_ a circuit termination _to_ some device component; the "B" side is never a circuit termination. Hence why this was missed.
