NetBox version

v2.11.8

Python version

3.7

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a Device Type.
  2. Click Add Components, then click any of the component types.
  3. The issue occurs on the page that opens next.

Expected Behavior

A form for entering the relevant attributes for the chosen component type is shown.

Observed Behavior

A mostly empty form is shown. No fields and dropdowns for entering attribute values. The only controls are buttons for Create, Create and Add More, and Cancel.

Additional information:

  • The issue appears to affect all combinations of device type and component type. Basically any page matching /dcim/*-templates/add/.
  • The issue does not affect adding components to devices, only to device types.
  • The issue appeared after upgrading from 2.10.3 to 2.11.8. Verified on two independent NetBox installations. Detailed version information: Python 3.7.3, PostgreSQL 11.12, Debian 11.12-0, Redis server 5.0.3, NetBox 2.11.8.
  • Disabling caching did not resolve the issue.

Apologies if this has been reported elsewhere; I was unable to find any posts regarding this issue.
