Is this different with the issue https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/2090 ?

Similar but not the same, this is for the inventory model not the custom fields. Although I looked at creating an export of Inventory items through the device model, but could not see a method for that (like .cf for custom fields)

This is not sufficient detail for a feature request. Please describe the exact functionality you are proposing.

Apologies for the generic nature of this request.

The specific use case for us is that we would like to filter Inventory Items by the devices status via the gui. Eg Show all inventory items for Active Devices.

We are modelling all inventory items for our devices and we noticed that the inventory model does not allow export templates to be written. We tried to get this data by the device export but I coulnd't see a device method to show related inventory items.

We have a workaround by tagging inventory items. But this shouldn't be necessary. Also Tags are not clickable on the inventory page.

Ok, so this is just to enable the creation custom export template for inventory items? I thought that was an option already but apparently not.

This would need a separate feature request.
