NetBox version

v3.0.10

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

When using custom links, we can pre-fill items on a custom script form, but currently there is no functionality that would allow selecting multiple object from a list and have those used in a custom script or other actions.

For custom links the user can already refer to {{obj}} with which actions can be performed, but as I understand that link is generated on render-time, so it will not be changed when the user selects or unselects things in the displayed list.

What I had in mind is a new button at the bottom of the list (we could call it custom action?) that could construct a custom link URL from the selected objects dynamically on click-time, so probably it could be linked to existing custom link functionality as long as the selected objects can be passed on as something like {{ selectedobjects }}

The action could be assigned to displayed object-list, it could even offer in-line action for single item actions.

Use case

We would like to be able to select physical interfaces of a displayed device and use those interface objects in a single custom script, best example is LAG creation, where we'd like to assign VLANs, set custom fields, etc in one go.

In this very case I would like to be able to construct my custom script call for displayed interfaces with something like:
scriptname?host={{obj}}{% for intfobj in selectedobjects %}&interface={{intfobj.id}}{% endfor %}

(haven't used loops in Jinja, so that might not work at all, but I hope you get the idea :))
