Originally created by @Mizarv on GitHub (Apr 27, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.1.9

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a cluster
  2. Create VM "ABC"
  3. Create VM "abc"

Expected Behavior

Error "A virtual machine with this name already exists in the assigned cluster"

Observed Behavior

New VM "abc" is successfully created despite VM "ABC" existing.

I believe the bug is applicable to Devices and other models too

I'm not sure it's accurate to frame this as a bug: Uniqueness enforcement is exactly that, and "ABC" is different from "abc", though I understand your viewpoint.

You might consider re-submitting this as a feature request with a use case, so the community can debate the merits (and potential pitfalls) of the change in behavior.
