Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: 2.8.6

Proposed Functionality

Add Custom fields functionality to Power Panels similar to other primary models

Use Case

Since the panels do not even have a field as Description we can't store additional information about Power Panels in NetBox. Would be great to use all potential of custom fields at once

Database Changes

External Dependencies

As mentioned in many other issues, we are not currently working on extending the custom fields feature, pending a major overhaul of the model.
