Originally created by @njgarfield on GitHub (May 8, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.12

Proposed Functionality

This is a request to choose multiple entries from a custom select list similar to an HTML tag. Currently only possible to select a single entry from custom field select list in the Netbox UI. To describe the request another way - it is not possible to select multiple entries from a custom select list.

Use Case

Site or router prefix advertisement, AKA routing policy, is often complex to describe and does not map nicely onto IP and DCIM schemas.
To document the intended members of a prefix list associated with a route map or policy map associated with a particular site or router it would be useful to be able to select multiple entries for a pre-defined list. There are other ways to work around this, such as packing information into a single text field, but it would be so much nicer in a multiple select list.

The ultimate use case is to dynamically compile prefix lists and configure routers with said list. The information can also be used for documenting intended advertisements to be checked with route monitoring systems.

Database Changes

Perhaps. not sure.

External Dependencies

None.
