Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.7
  • NetBox version: 2.6.1

Proposed Functionality

Actually all fields for Ip address on a device return ip/mask.
But for example if I want to add a custom link with Ip Address, I can't because we always have mask in custom link.

do you think it's possible to separate ip address and mask in 2 fields or add reference to ip address only or ?

Regards,
Shugotek

Use Case

If we want to use a custom link for acces to management we will add a custom link https://{{ obj.primary_ip }}

You can reference {{ obj.primary_ip.address.ip }} to get the raw host address without its mask. If you need any further assistance, please post to the mailing list.
