Originally created by @jeremystretch on GitHub (Dec 5, 2019).

Proposed Changes

On extras.Graph, change

    type = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(
        choices=GRAPH_TYPE_CHOICES
    )

to (roughly)

    type = models.ForeignKey(
        to=ContentType,
        on_delete=models.CASCADE,
        limit_choices_to=GRAPH_TYPE_CHOICES
    )

Justification

This brings the field into line with similar fields on other objects (e.g. ExportTemplate.content_type) and obviates the need for a set of static choice values.

This does not modify the set of models to which an ExportTemplate can be assigned, which currently includes interfaces, devices, providers, and sites.
