Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.6.2

Proposed Functionality

We'd like to be able to see the route (or trace) a cable is a part of by e.g. clicking on a trace button from https://netbox.example.com/dcim/cables/25/ , which will e.g. call the now nonexistent https://netbox.example.com/dcim/cables/20/trace/

Use Case

When reviewing the cables it would be very convenient and less error-prone to be able to see which trace/route this cable is a part of instead of having to do this in a multi step process by first having to click on one of the termination point, then looking up the cable and it's trace (button).

A similar issue has been addressed in #2758 but that doesn't quite cover this issue.
