NetBox version

v3.0.7

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add a device with a power port (say)
  2. Click on the "connect" button next to the power port
  3. On the "B" side form, click the port "Name" field, before selecting a device

Expected Behavior

Not to be able to select a port until the device has been selected.

Observed Behavior

The drop-down menu shows every port on every device in that rack:

Since the port names are not qualified by the device name, this isn't useful, yet potentially it requires rendering many hundreds of ports.

I didn't think it used to work this way, but I could be wrong.

This is expected behavior. NetBox is returning the list of available components given the constraints provided. There are many cases where such behavior is desirable: For instance, suppose there is only one PDU in a rack. It would make no sense to force the user to select that PDU before selecting an outlet.
