Originally created by @cpmills1975 on GitHub (Sep 1, 2020).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.7
  • NetBox version: 2.9.2

Proposed Functionality

It would be helpful if it was possible to bulk re-label ports in a similar fashion to how they can currently be bulk re-named.

Use Case

Since ports can be bulk created, named and labelled, a typo introduced in the name field while bulk creating them can be resolved fairly quickly through bulk re-naming. A typo in the label field would require each field to be edited individually.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None

I suppose we could extend the same logic and expose it through the name re-naming form, so you do both at the same time.

Please keep this open, I’d still like to see this functionality in a future version and it seems there is some support for the idea?
