NetBox version

netbox-9959f6cd8-pzbbx (v3.2.0-beta2)

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When creating components on devices, you are given the opportunity to select a module to assign the component to. It would be good to include the module bay name in the selection dropdown. If there are multiple modules of the same type present on the system it will make it easier to choose the correct module.

Use case

When there are multiple modules of the same time installed on a device, it could be confusing to pick the correct one.

Database changes

None

External dependencies

None

Tweaked the API serializer to display the bay name & module type, along with its primary key.
