NetBox version

v2.11.2

Python version

3.6

Steps to Reproduce

  1. create a device type
  2. create an interface/console-port/power-port/ with a description and label
  3. export that device type as a yaml file
  4. import that device type

Expected Behavior

The device type export contains the description and label field for all device components.

Observed Behavior

the yaml export does not export the description and label fields for many device components.

I already found the pieces in the code and will supply a merge request that fixes that tomorrow.
