Environment

  • NetBox version: 2.10.4

Proposed Functionality

Able to assign existing device directly from Rack page. Currently, can only add new device, can it do the same to assign current rack and position to device? Same concept as assign existing IP address to interface (which auto filled device and interface field in IP address objects)

Use Case

It'll be easier to fill in device from rack page and see overall rack spaces.

Database Changes

None
