NetBox version

v2.11.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

There is the functionality for Custom Links which will render a button on the top right location for NetBox. This is very handy but I could not get this to work to reference a custom field from within the object itself (tried using the keys exposed by the NetBox API).

When a new custom field is added which e.g. holds the reference to a ticketing system, it should not only be able to a a constraining regex, but also a base URL.

When the IP address, prefix or whatever this custom field is bound to is displayed, I would like to see a hyperlink which consists out of http://base.url/foo/bar/VALUE. Like this is done for the emea tenant in the screenshot below.

Use case

Fast and easy way to back reference to your IT ticketing system - or any other system/information you add to your custom fields.

You can reference them as obj.cf.name, e.g. http://base.url/foo/bar/{{ obj.cf.incident }} should work.

Hi @ktims wow, that works like a charm - I was just looking at the wrong key.

Do you happen to know to have an idea for the other feature request to replace the custom field content with a hyperlink?

I think the original issue is resolved. I do potentially see value in a "hyperlink" Customfield where the customfield data input is linkable in some fashion. For now though, I tihnk we can close this out.
