Originally created by @hendrikbl on GitHub (Jul 23, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: 3.7.8
  • NetBox version: 2.8.7

Proposed Functionality

Allow the use of djangos MultipleChoiceField in custom scripts.

Use Case

We are provisioning new sites with some default vlans.
In some cases not all default vlans are needed. Instead of deleting the unused
vlan after provisioning, it would be nice to prefill a multiple choice field so the
user can just remove unwanted vlans from it - or the inverted way, create an exclude list).

The only way to do this currently is by using a string or text field with csv. But that is
way more prone to errors than a predefined list/predefined values.

Database Changes

None (as far as I know)

External Dependencies

None (as far as I know)
