NetBox version

v3.0.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Extend the VLAN information on the Prefixes overview by also showing the VLAN Group information.

Use case

VLANs can exist multiple times in an IPAM, and the distinguisher is the VLAN Group.
While in an individual Prefixes view the VLAN shows both the VLAN Group and the VLAN information, separated by a slash, in the Prefixes overview the VLAN column only shows the VLAN.
A similar display of VLAN Group/VLAN like in the individual Prefix would greatly improve the overview.

Database changes

none

External dependencies

No response

I support that - would be helpful for export and import prefixes
As vlan groups are not displayed in exports, those can't be used as import templates without adding those

I wonder whether this is looked into, as it is much more than just the "display".
As elwonk mentioned, the vlan group is not even exported which makes a reimport/migration of existing data impossible.

Sounds like just adding a column for VLAN group to the prefix table (as a non-default column) would address this.
