NetBox version

v2.11.6

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I suggest to change the behaviour of the breadcrumb navigation at the top of page dcim/power-panels/1/ to act the same way as it already does on other pages e.g. Devices; such that if you click on the site name, you are taken to a filtered list of power-panels for that site, like e.g. dcim/power-panels/?site_id=1 instead of dcim/sites/1.

Use case

This will simply make the NetBox GUI more consistent and intuitive as the current functionality appear more like a bug, as already pointed out by @kbreit in #5745.

The whole idea with breadcrumb navigation, is to allow backtracking, not teleportation! This is why I argue that a breadcrumb path listing "Power Panels / Site / Panel"; Site should then take you to a list of Power Panels at that Site, not send you directly to the parent page for the given site.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None
