NetBox version

v3.0.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Would be possible to enter Tenant and related data when a Site is selected for a new device?

Use case

When I enter a new device I always must select Site, Tenant, Tenant Group, etc

I suppose a Site belongs to a Tenant, then selecting Site should be enought.

thanks

I understand your reasoning, however this requires assuming the user's intent. It's perfectly valid to have a device and its site assigned to different tenants, so we can't automatically make that assumption on behalf of the user.
