Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: 2.9.9

Proposed Functionality

Enable support for custom fields on organizational models (e.g. circuit types, rack roles, device roles, VLAN groups, etc.).

Use Case

Extension of NetBox's custom fields feature has long been demanded by users. Now that custom fields has been reimplemented in a sufficiently performant manner, we can revisit this.

Database Changes

Add a custom_field_data to each applicable model (via subclassing CustomFieldModel).

External Dependencies

None

@mngan No, that is beyond the scope of this issue. (Edit: See #5401)
