Originally created by @jeremystretch on GitHub (Jun 25, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: 2.8.6

Proposed Functionality

Add a description field to each of the device component models assigned to device types. This description would be for informational purposes related to the device type only, and would not get replicated to component instances on actual devices.

Use Case

Provides an avenue for conveying notes about particular components. This has come up in discussion relating to the community device type library before, but I wasn't able to find an issue under the NetBox repo.

Database Changes

Add a description CharField to each of the eight component template models.

External Dependencies

None
