NetBox version

v3.2.0-beta1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Create "Add components" button to 'DCIM > Modules'

DCIM > Modules > PK (Object) does not thave the Add components button, as DCIM > Devices > PK (Object) has. As a result, it is not possible to manually add interfaces to module, just import them from a Module Type by using the Replicate components option. I don't quite know if it is a bug or made intentionally this way, but if it is supposed to be like that, I don't think is pretty clear on Netbox, maybe adding a warning would be interesting. Also, if there isn't a manual way to add the components, the Replicate components should be mandatory, not a option, in my opinion!

How it is right now

How I think it should be

OBS: I put only the Interface in the dropdown list, but maybe there are other components to add.

Use case

Users would be free to add components manually to modules (although I myself don't think it is a good way).

Components are added from the device view. There is an option to select an installed module when creating the component.

I was able to create from the device view as you said. I haven't seen this, thank you.
But I think that adding the option to Add components from the DCIM > Modules view is still a good option. I don't know if it is possible (or if you agree) to place the button on both views (Device and Module's one).
