Environment

  • Python version: 3.8.2
  • NetBox version: 2.8.3

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a custom report inside of REPORTS_ROOT directory
  2. Inside of the class create a variable named "name" and set it to something custom
  3. Open web interface and go to Other > Reports
  4. Try to call the report

Expected Behavior

Report should be shown with the custom name, and be functional

Observed Behavior

The Name set in the name-variable is used for presentation, but also for linking. Since the report can only be called by it's class-name, clicking the link results in a 404 error.
