Originally created by @candlerb on GitHub (Jan 17, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @kobayashi on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: 3.5.2
  • NetBox version: 2.7.1

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add Device
  2. Enter Name, Role, Manufacturer, Device Type, Site and Rack (optionally Tags and Comments)
  3. Click "Create and Add Another"

Expected Behavior

Given the new feature in 2.7, I was expecting the fields to be carried forward into the next form.

Observed Behavior

Manufacturer and Device Type are not carried forward (neither are Comments)

However: Role, Site, Rack and Tags are carried forward.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jan 17, 2020):

This is a bug with the form widgets. We're passing an initial value for the device_type field, however that field is chained to manufacturer, which has no initial value, so the set of available choices for device_type is empty.

@jeremystretch checkout #3912 as it removes chaining (no longer needed, explanation in the ticket). It's also the cause of the issue you noticed in https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/pull/3893#discussion_r365908986.
