Originally created by @hwerny on GitHub (Mar 21, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.1.9

Python version

3.7

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Click on Front Ports / Click on Import
  2. There you can see these csv-entries: device,name,type,rear_port,rear_port_position
  3. Same with Rear Ports / Import: device,name,type,positions
  4. So it seems the CSV-Entries where swapped.

Expected Behavior

Use of the right Front-Ports-CSV-Entries at Front Ports and use of the right Rear-Port-CSV-Entries at Rear Ports.

Observed Behavior

When i use the entries from Rear Ports, which should be the right ones, at Front Ports it gaves this error: Unexpected column header "positions" found.
Without "positions" this error: Required column header "rear_port" not found.

Are you using the csv import or csv upload?
I tried the following with csv text import on demo.netbox.dev and it worked as intended:

Rear ports:

device.id,name,type,positions
1,RP1,8p8c,1
1,RP2,8p8c,1

Front ports

device.id,name,type,rear_port,rear_port_position
1,FP1,8p8c,RP1,1
1,FP2,8p8c,RP2,1

Results in:

The import forms are working as they should. If you need help importing pass-through ports, please start a discussion.

@hwerny commented on GitHub (Mar 22, 2022):

I am using csv-text import.
But is it correct to input data in an front-port-mask where it should be the rear-port-mask?
Did I misunderstood the masks and where to put what data in?

And your example doesn't exactly match mine.
I gave a device name and not a device.id.
The csv-options underneat the csv-text-field gave me no device.id option.
So I changed your example a little bit an tested it on demo.netbox.dev:

device,name,type,rear_port,rear_port_position
EX4200-SA,FP1,8p8c,RP1,1
EX4200-SA,FP2,8p8c,RP2,1

Then it gaves me this error:

Server Error

FrontPort has no rear_port.
