NetBox version

3.1.9

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

ability to get or filter objects via api where a field is null/None/unset
Ive attempted this via the following uri's
https://demo.netbox.dev/api/dcim/devices/?cf_sw_version=null - django error - Cannot use None as a query value
https://demo.netbox.dev/api/dcim/devices/?cf_sw_version='' - no items
https://demo.netbox.dev/api/dcim/devices/?cf_sw_version=None - no items

interesting filtering a Date type custom field by null returns an error to supply a valid date rather than the django error above
https://demo.netbox.dev/api/dcim/devices/?cf_deployeddate=null

Use case

Trying to find objects which do not have fields set.
This was previously mentioned on https://github.com/netbox-community/pynetbox/issues/160 as a limitation of the API

Database changes

No response

External dependencies
