Environment

  • Python version: 3.8
  • NetBox version: 2.9.10

Proposed Functionality

It would be nice if you could set the default status selection in the cable creation form in the ui from config.

Use Case

The current default of "Connected" is fine, but it would be useful for instances where people plan the majority of cables before actually connecting them to be able to set the default selection in the web ui to be "Planned" instead of "Connected" via a config option. It would mean two fewer clicks for those cables being created in a planning state, if the default was set to planning by the config.

Database Changes

I'm not sure of any, I would assume the default is kept in memory.

External Dependencies

None afaik.

Closing this as it has not garnered any community interest, and we don't have any mechanism in place to support the proposed feature.
