Originally created by @991jo on GitHub (Dec 23, 2020).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.10.2

Proposed Functionality

Add a link to the newest version of a report.

Use Case

Sending a link to the newest version of a report.

Currently a report is deleted when a new one is created. This new one has a different id.
When I run a report and send a link to someone else and run the report again the link is broken because the old report is deleted and a "page does not exist" error page is shown.

Database Changes

probably none?

External Dependencies

none

I think by now I am confident enough with django that I could implement this If people are willing to merge it.
