NetBox version

v3.2-beta1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Allow NetBox administrators to configure the list of available kind choices for Journal entries

We could follow the same strategy as done in 8054

So we would have the following structure to replace the current choices with the ones seen here, leaving only two choices

FIELD_CHOICES = {
    'extras.journal-entries.kind': (
        ('value1', 'label1', 'color1'),
        ('value2', 'label2', 'color2'),
    )
}

Whereas adding a + to the end of the field identifier will instead extend the available choices:

FIELD_CHOICES = {
    'extras.journal-entries.kind+': (
        ('valueX', 'labelX', 'colorX'),
    )
}

Use case

This would allow users to define their own custom values for the journals.

For posterity, the implemented syntax is:

FIELD_CHOICES = {
    'extras.JournalEntry.kind+': (
        ('foo', 'Foo'),
    )
}
