Originally created by @jogulin on GitHub (Oct 8, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @DanSheps on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.9.3

Steps to Reproduce

  1. curl request to update the "tags" item from an empty set to a single tag

Data (via the -d command line argument):
{"id": 1, "url": "https://netbox.example.com/api/ipam/ip-addresses/1/", "family": 4, "address": "192.168.1.1/24", "vrf": null, "status": "active", "role": null, "assigned_object_type": null, "assigned_object_id": null, "assigned_object": null, "nat_inside": null, "nat_outside": null, "dns_name": "", "description": "", "tags": [9], "custom_fields": {}, "tenant": 1}

Expected Behavior

Update to occur without issue

Observed Behavior

{"assigned_object_type": ["This field may not be null."]}

In short, if the assigned_object_id is null, the assigned_object_type must be null and the API should recognize this.

An alternative would be to make the assigned_object_type field mandatory, and when the assigned_object_id is null the value would be "unassigned" or something similar.

Looks like a simple allow_null=True in the serializer should fix this, I will tackle it after lunch
