NetBox version

v3.1.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

You can add many objects with a "plus" sign in the sidebar. This is not true for services. I propose to add a plus button which leads to a form to add a service to a VM or device.

Use case

adding a service quickly without first having to open a VM or device.

Database changes

none

External dependencies

none

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Dec 15, 2021):

This is actually a limitation in the service creation view: The view currently requires initialization with a specific device or virtual machine to render the form correctly. This is an older pattern though and we should be able to improve it to accommodate a direct link.
