Environment

  • Python version: 3.7
  • NetBox version: 2.8

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Export Device Interfaces with some interfaces not enabled (enabled = False). (This issue applies to any or all boolean fields in any of NetBox objects)

Expected Behavior

Expected the CSV to show False for not enabled.

Observed Behavior

For not Enabled, no value shows up. While for enabled, boolean True shows up (which is expected behavior)
This is observed not just for interfaces, but for boolean fields in other entities also. False does not show up if the boolean field value is false in the exported CSV data.

Is there a specific bug this is causing or more for aesthetics?

I have not seen any bug that is causing this. So, yes, it is for aesthetics.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Sep 15, 2020):

Arguments can be made both for and against this change, however I think it's reasonable to retain the current behavior if only to avoid introducing a potentially disruptive change with little benefit. (It's reasonable to assume that many users are relying on the absence of a value in this field to indicate "false," in which case populating the actual string "false" would equate to "true." Booleans are fun.)

Also, the export function itself is due for re-implementation in v2.10 under #4999: This may be revisited as part of that work.
