Environment

  • Python version: 2.7.5 - python3 = 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.6.7

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open /dcim/devices/ and click Export. Save file locally
  2. Take a clean install of Netbox (I have a test instance), where prerequisites are already imported, like sites, racks, etc etc.
  3. Open /dcim/devices/ and click import.
  4. Paste the exported output from step 1 into the import-function.

Devices with all components the be imported into the test-instance.

Devices are imported, but without any of the components.

This is intended behavior. It is not possible to express different models in the same CSV table.

Well, that's disappointing. So what you are saying is, that there are no way to export the devices with all details attached?
If that is true, that make exporting devices kind of useless.
